Agricola which you may want to call Aircol was according to the Welsh king lists the father of the famous Vortepor. Vortepor is known from us from Gildas (who also says his father was a good king, even if not giving him a name) and from a class-1 stone in ogam and latin, where he is given the roman title of Protector.
The two came from the irish dynasty of the Deisi Muman, which counter Morris views. The dynasty possibly got settled there by Magnus Maximus himself.
See for an up-to-date view Philip Rance, "Attacotti, Deisi and Magnus Maximus: the Case for Irish Federates in Late Roman Britain", Britannia XXXII, 2001, 243-70.
About those numbers, are you sure that 300 or 900 was linked in anyway with late roman cavalry units?
