Check out this cool news article (http://news.independent.co.uk/europe/article2190045.ece) about an archeological find in Normandy that suggests there was resistance to Roman invaders for something like 300 years after commonly thought.

In any case the find (a mass grave site where human and horse bones are mixed purposefully) suggests that there was likely a strong Epona cult present.

Wow. That's really interesting! I wouldn't be surprised by a cultural survival at all. We only have one side and some of what the Roman's wrote. The story is more complex and varied than that.
