My understanding is that it was a little more structured than just adding a 
bit to the existing mix. For a start there was quite a rupture and the 
language by which the country was governed change and has never reverted.

Also I'm not sure about the Celtic reference as there seems to have been 
much more of an ethnic cleanse as the Romano-brit population was pushed to 
the western fringes? Some authorities suggest that there are only about 7 
Celtic words left. I can't name them all without research but Avon and 
Coombe (Cwm) are a couple.


I suppose most are in place names including Kennet, and lots of other river
names; London; Lympne (Kent).  There's also brock, and maybe hog, as in
hedgehog.

There's also that counting system; yan, tyan, sethera, ...which a shepherd
taught my daughter in her sheep-keeping days.
