Dear Chris, I e'd you on the 28 March, but it looks as if it did not get through. I will have to type it again because its on my home Aol and it make difficulties about transfering (ie I don't know how  to do it).

- p.2 Gildas - there is a trad assoc with Glason, but its very dodgy. I don't think he came from there, better say 'poss somewhere in SW)

-3.1. rural settlement - lot of the dev encs are rectangular, and the houses in them tend to be round, perhaps best not mention shape.

-the origins of Cornwall are simply not known, and nor is any early relationship to Devon ie pre Roman Dumnonii civitas set up. After the Roman organization Cornwall is accepted as part of the remit of Isca Dumnoniorum. However, Cornwall as a name is not known before the early 8th century, and one of the peninsulas at the Atlantic end of Cornwall has a name involving Dumnonii which seems to be IA (see my new book quoting Padel). So, perhaps Cornwall was always a section of Dum, or developed its name after most of Devon was in West Saxon hands.

-Probably both Irish and Breton movements did happen, but the present fashion is to minimise them virtualy to nothing. But when arch DNA gets going .....

-4.4.3. some of the inscribed stones are from ch. yards eg Lundy with 4, St.Just with 1. Equally, they may often be perhaps assertions of land rights rather than (just) gravestones, tho' this is difficult to demonstrate given the decay of bone in the SW.

I hope that this is of some use.
Best wishes,, Sue.
