I don't see much cultural difference between Britain and Denmark in the Bronze and Iron Ages. Think of all those bog bodies right across from Ireland to Germany with most of those so far found in Denmark. Reading Tacitus's Germania is fascinating for religion and social customs etc. Also worth reading are Glob's two books on the Bog Bodies and the lesser known Mound Bodies.

The Dagenham Idol could have been carved locally or it could have been made in Denmark and gifted or traded to the Thames estuary. He lives in my local museum at Colchester and this is a drawing I did of him See: http://www.megalithic.co.uk/modules.php?op=modload&name=a312&file=index&do=showpic&pid=12127
