Answer
Hello Pene.
Sorry but I've had no luck with this question at all. Historically it's rather too early for me.
Having said that pre-Roman Britain was a surprisingly sophisticated place with trade flourishing across the Channel with the Roman Empire. So I'm sure they had a system of numbers, and names for the days of the week, but exactly what they were I've been unable to find out.

Expertise

I have a good basic knowledge of British political history, but my speciality is the Kings and Queens of England and Scotland from 927 AD. Please no social history questions, it's not my strong point and I'm unlikely to answer them.
