According to James (2011) Britain was just a geographical entity and had no political meaning and no single cultural identity. Before the eighteenth century no one called the people living in Britain during the Iron Age, Celts. The Romans then called them Britons and not Celts. Celts is a modern name and is used to collectively describe all the many tribes of people living during the Iron Age.They lived across the Europe during the Iron Age several hundred years and occupied many parts of Central and Western Europe in wave after wave, they spread outwards, taking over France and Belgium, and crossing to Britain. I believe the people of Britain were made up of the Iron Age (Celts).
