"the discovery may provide evidence that Christianity and paganism at times intertwined in the ancient world."
Stukeley would have seized upon that - didn't he try to make the same connection?
St. Brigit was the daughter of a druid priest, and she had an everlasting fire. Certainly pagan & Christian mixed in the early Irish incarnation of Christianity.
St. Patrick performed many Druid-esque miracles to prove that the Druids were no different to him (well, he did them better, of course, and proved they were inferior.)
