Is the Anglo-Saxon element in England largely overstated?
I am probably about 80% English taking 23andMe and LivingDNA together with most of it coming from Southern and Midlands areas, yet most of my top 20 matches on G25 Ancients/moderns are British Iron Age samples and modern insular Celtic populations like Orcadians. Most modern English seem to overlap much more with Iron Age Britons than they do with EMA Germanics.

Is this because of genetic continuity or because the mixture of Germanic + Iron Age French puts them artificially close to the Britons?
