A Note on Recent Post "A NORTHERN PROTOTYPE FOR THE ARTHURIAN GRAIL CASTLE"

Drumburgh Roman Fort

NOTE: CONGABATA WAS GARRISONED IN THE LATE ROMAN PERIOD BY THE LINGONES, A CELTIC PEOPLE FROM GAUL.  THEIR CAPITAL CITY WAS CALLED ANDEMATUNNUM, A PLACE-NAME MEANING 'GREAT DIVINE BEAR' [SEE MELROSE, R., THE DRUIDS AND KING ARTHUR: A NEW VIEW OF EARLY BRITAIN, MCFARLAND, 2014, P. 81; GRAHAM ISAAC'S PLACE-NAMES IN PTOLEMY'S GEOGRAPHY, 2004; ROSS, A., PAGAN CELTIC BRITAIN, LONDON, 1967, p. 375, FOR MATUNUS IN BRITAIN AS 'DIVINE BEAR, and the tombstone for Matuna at Caerleon (https://romaninscriptionsofbritain.org/inscriptions/search?qv=matuna&submit=). The Math and Mathonwy of the MABINOGION belong to the same Celtic root, and Arthur is associated with the fort of Math.].
