gadshill - i think
Question Author
thanks surepseh
just for interest...Shakespeare refers to Gad's Hill (or Gadshill) and its relationship with highway robbery in his Henry IV Part I. As far back as 1558 there was a ballad entitled The Robbers of Gad's Hill. The Sir John Falstaff public house stood at the top of a steep thickly wooded hill, an ideal spot for highwaymen.
Just for a bit more interest ... Unfortunately the clue is mistyped in the OP. Should read ... 19D Put under pressure FINALLY to overcome specific gradient (8). Then it makes sense.
