I remember the author, a very interesting article, thanks, it will repay reading more than once.

I'd forgotten about Hound King Son of the Holly but alongside the Silchester Irish memorial stone it's, I think, one of the only two finds putting the Irish in an urban setting in the period.

I thought- given we all accept that some of the British moved to Armorica- that it might be worth seeing if we know anything about the social structure the would be Bretons took with them.  Checking Celtic Culture- A Historical Encyclopedia edited by Koch it seems there were many free farmers on 40 acre holdings.

Get your land claims in now!
As an aside, polygamy makes collecting land claims so much easier
