[477] The local cults in Great Britain which are not Celtic in form, and do not seem to be connected with Celtic religion on any analogy, are those relating to Cromm Cruaich, referred to in the _Tripartite Life of St. Patrick_ (see Whitley Stokes in _Revue Celtique_, i. 260, xvi. 35-36; O'Curry, _MS. Materials of Anc. Irish History_, 538-9; Joyce, _Social History of Ancient Ireland_, i. 275-276; Rhys, _Celtic Heathendom_, 200-201). I do not follow Rhys in his identification of this cult as a part of the ceremonies on mounds, and suggest that Mr. Bury in his _Life of St. Patrick_, 123-125, gives the clue to the purely local character of this idol worship which I claim for it. Similarly the overthrow of the temple at Goodmanham, Godmundingham, described by Beda, ii. cap. 13, with its priest who was not allowed to carry arms, or to ride on any but a mare, is the destruction of a successful local cult, not of a national or tribal religion. I confess that Dr. Greenwell's observations in connection with his barrow discoveries (_British Barrows_, 286-331) are in favour of an early Anglican cultus, but I think his facts may be otherwise interpreted, and in any case they confirm my view of the special localisation of this cult.
