She also mentions the Goddess Brigantia, who stems from the Irish Goddess Brigid. Her ref;
"She is invoked as Dea Nymphae Brigantia, a pointer in her connection to water.. she goes on to say that the rivers Braint and Brent(earlier Briganti - Middx) have a strong adjectival significance. Presumably Braint is a river in Anglesey.. She links the deposit to a 61 ad date, a final desperate act in the face of the Roman invasion.
