I had a feeling that the dates for the Dal Riatan Artiur (son or grandson of Aedan Mac Gabhran)were out, so I checked them out.

He would have been active around 570-590 AD, so he's out of the timeframe for Mons Badonicus. One also has to question why the British Aneirin would have sung the praises of a Dal Riatan invader, so the chances of him being the Arthur of Y Gododdin look dodgy.
