I'm doubting it now too... I should have researched some more. But anyways, I've been delving again into the military clues given in Y Gododdin and their revelance to our discussion. And I have found something interesting. Again these "Four-sided Spears" pop up. Also, there is mention of large, light shields which they defended with while they fought with a spear or sword one handed. If this is correct then I guess we can finally claim that the contos was not in use with the sub-roman britons.
