    2. As far as I am aware there is no evidence for tow handed swords being produced or used by the Britons.

    3. The helmet worn by the Casse Caladwr was only used on the continent it, and many of the other helmets the Casse warriors are depicted as wearing were not present in Britain. The only two which were are the helmet worn by the Casse strat map general and possibly the helmets worn by the Casse charioteers.

    4. Archery had been abandoned in Britain by this period.

    5. It is unlikely that the tribes depicted as inhabiting Britain in EB had fully formed. Ceramic evidence from the Middle Iron age (c.400-150BC) shows that certain regions were producing distinctive pottery types the distribution of which is closely mirrored by later tribal boundaries, but we have no idea for aceramic groups like the Brigantes and Caledonii.

    6. Evidence for the Irish Iron Age is so slight that one Irish archaeologist, Barry Raftery, described the Iron Age Irish as the invisible people, there is not enough evidence to construct the Goidelic unit roster.

    7. The names used in EB for Casse units are a mix of modern Welsh and Irish, they would likely mean nothing in Iron Age British.
