Nemetona

Nemetona was the goddess of the grove or sacred grove.

Nemetona was usually associated with healing springs, like Coventina and Sulis. Nemetona was popular in the city of Bath, known as Aquae Sulis during the Roman period, where several images can be found of her. Her divine consort was the British Mars. Usually, she was seen seated like a queen holding a sceptre. Around her were three hooded figures and a ram.

Some people associated Nemetona with Nemain, one of the Irish triple goddess of war, known as the Morrigans, though Nemetona never exhibited any warlike tendency.
