The Votadini exodus to Wales

[Arturus Uriconium]

I thought this quote from The Archaeology of Late Celtic Britain and Ireland, C. 400-1200 AD By Lloyd Robert Laing worth an inclusion:

“While the similarity between two spearheads and a bronze brooch from Kenfig in south Wales and finds from Trapian [Law] can be discounted as evidence for Cunedda’s migration, the similarity between either the rectangular stone-built structures at Gateholm and the final phase at Trapian, or between the enclosed hut groups of the Votadini and those of north Wales, cannot be dismissed so easily. The only stone-built Welsh huts, however, which can with confidence be ascribed to a date after AD 400 are those from Pant-y-Saer and Garn Boduan, and there are comparably few of post-Roman date in the Votadinian area. The similarity of the hut groups in both areas is probably due to a uniform Roman policy, though the polygonal hut groups do compare very closely with a class found in Northumbria. It is possible that Cunedda’s followers, being in the habit of living in such dwellings, and finding them already present in Wales, continued to construct them."
