The Cornovii Tribe (where Lindow would have been found in) was also a farming community and after the invasion by the Romans and the revolt by Boudica, the crops would not have been tended and was therefore likely to have failed. He could well have been a sacrifice to appease the gods for a good harvest for the following year in which case he would have been killed at Samhain (Hallowe'en), the day if the dead, but its is suggested in books that he was sacrificed at Beltaine (may 1st) which is a fire and fornication festival. If he was a sacrifice for preventing the Roman invasion and the subsequent revolt by Boudica, it would have been then. As the Cornovii were a scattered farming community, they could well have been scared enough to want to offer a sacrifice to prevent any harm coming to their communities from either of these events. Lindow Man was not a farmer, as evidenced from his manicured nails and neatly trimmed beard and moustache.
Just to add some more info, lindow was on the bottom border of the Brigantian Tribes borders as well.
I am also certain that one of the bodies found on Lindow Moss was a woman.
