Coventina: a Brythonic goddess also known as Covetina, Covventina, Cuhvetena (Disappearing Memory, Memory of Snow) (717 words)
As Cuhvetena, a name which is synonymous with Coventina, she is known from an inscription discovered at Santa Cruz de Loio, Spain.
It is interesting to note that many of the inscriptions refer to Coventina as the 'DEAE' (the goddesses) showing that, though singluar she is a multiplicity in and of herself.
Though there is no interpretation for Coventina's name as yet her attributes as a triple water-deity, plainly attested by her nymph depiction though she may well have had additional attributes involved with healing and fertility.

It is possible that other inscriptions, two from Hispania and one from Narbonensis may refer to Coventina, but this is uncertain and disputed.
The Coventina dedications and votive deposits were found in a walled area which had been built to contain the output of a spring.
