| ENT_WEL_BRAN | PER_CEL_IRON_AGE | low | The Celtic severed-head cult documented archaeologically from the Iron Age (Roquepertuse, Entremont; La Tène period) provides the probable cultic substrate for Brân's speaking head tradition; Green (1992) argues for continuity between Iron Age head-cult practice and the Mabinogi narrative; confidence is low as there is no direct inscription or attestation for a "Brân" figure in the Iron Age | SRC_GREEN_CELTIC_GODS | reviewed |
