95 W. J. Watson, The History of the Celtic Place-Names of Scotland (1926), could offer no British analogies and the only possible example in E. Ekwall, English River-Names (1928), is the Ann (now Pillhill) Brook in Hampshire, but that is too small to have given its name to a region or even a sept of a tribe. It is, perhaps, worth mentioning that the fact that the people are called Brittones, as opposed to Britanni, does not necessarily imply a northern location: Martial, the earliest literary user of Brittones, makes no distinction between the two (they are all picti or caerulei!) and at least by the fourth century (e.g. in Ausonius) Britto was the normal word for a Briton (whence Bede's Bretto).
