It has been asserted that South Cadbury Castle (Somerset) was not only occupied, but apparently re-fortified--it being originally a iron age hill fort--during this period. While pottery fragments suggestive of Mediterranean trade and evidence of a great hall have found there, no period weapons that I know of. There were several summers of digs in the 60s or 70s, which apparently confirmed this but little more.
I visited there in 2003. Nice site, pretty views, and a sign board recounting the above.
