Sitessuggested include Dumbarton, Furness and Somerset, or the coastline of Wales or northernFrance; another possibility put forward for his birthplace is the settlement of Bannaventa inNorthamptonshire, for raiders captured himwith "many thousands of people" accordingto Patrick's autobiographical Confessio, and sold them as slaves in Ireland.
