This study reexamines the evidence for indigenuous society in the north of England in the Late Iron Age and early post-Conquest period. Catherine Ross first surveys modern work on the region, and on the Brigantes in particular, before appraising in turn Roman epipgraphy and literary sources, place-name evidence, material culture and settlement patterns. She concludes that there is no evidence for one overarching tribal identity, and instead tentatively identifies six distinct regional groupings.
