I don't. The Gundestrup couldron was found in the landscape called
Himmerland (< Cimbri), near a fortified place called Borremose (Borg-
mose, fortress moor), dating from around 200BC, which existed until
approx 0 CE, after which houses were built in the area. Tacitus
mentions that the Cimbri were much reduced in his time. It is
tempting to see Borremose as the Cimbri's last stand against
the "Odin people" invasion.
