Where was the battle of Devil's Den located?

If you're talking about the American Civil War, I assume you are referring to Devils Den in Gettysburg. There was no 'battle of Devils Den." The Devils Den formed part of the defensive line of Union General Sickles' on day two of the battle. The Confederate captured the Den when they crushed the Union defenses and drove the Union survivors back onto the Wheat Field and Little Round Top. The Confederates used the Den as a base for sharpshooters for the remainder of the battle.


Why was king Harold in a good position at the top of the senlac hill?

From the top of the ridge, Harold could see all the land before him that William was going to approach from. Additionally, the land around the ridge, through which William's men must march, was wet, marshy land in some parts and rocky and bumpy in other parts. That would slow down William's horsemounted soldiers, and the equipment that his army was pulling with them.
