Iron Age
	Evidence for water veneration in Britain is evident through much of our past. Indeed Neolithic water veneration has been suggested in lakes surrounded by wooden henges. It was during the Bronze and Iron Age that we know water veneration first occurred, in finds of metalwork, wood and people in bogs, lakes, rivers, springs and ritual shafts that were often identified as disused wells. What united these practices was the Celtic idea of conspicuous disposal. Throwing something into water ensured it was gone forever. It is unclear whether this act was intended to mark a boundary, perhaps political allegiance, improve personal status or act as gifts to the Gods. It can easily be suggested that it was all three. Many of these Celtic practices are still remembered today. Head Cults [based on Dark Age literature], the use of a Well for divination or the capacity of a Well to bestow a power or knowledge all remain today.
