At the time of EB's start date - 272 BCE - there aren't any Goidils, in fact. They, as far as I'm aware, are thought to have immigrated to the island from Iberia sometime in the 2nd or 1st century BCE, fleeing Roman persecution and headed for the land farthest from Rome that they were culturally associated with - Ireland.

The fact that there was evidence of technological shifts and more large-scale expressions of power at the time - the Corlea Road, the Black Pig's Dike, the Dun of Drumsna, and other examples of contemporary monumental architecture - took place from the middle to the end of the 2nd century BCE (~150 BCE to ~100 BCE) implies some sort of change taking place on the island. Given how enigmatic ancient Irish history is, however, I hesitate to say anything for certain.

I'd really appreciate an actual expert on this bunch to show up, of course. Who is the Briton faction coordinator for EB, and could I beg for elucidation from him/her?
