For centuries, Historians, Scholars and Antiquarians have debated and argued as to where the battle took place. Academics too, have studied the various chronicles and many have advocated several locations with many placing the battle as having been fought on the East Coast, near the River Humber or in Lancashire, near Burnley. Other locations claim the battle, but the current Academic consensus, is that it was fought on the Wirral. Wirral Archaeology have researched every known available source and have studied the etymology, local tradition and most importantly, the landscape, in order to ascertain if the battle was possibly fought on the Wirral.
