The
Deceangli or
Deceangi (Welsh: Tegeingl) were one of the
Celtic tribes living in
Britain, prior to the
Roman invasion of the island. The tribe lived mainly in what is now north-east
Wales, though it is uncertain whether their territory covered only the modern counties of
Flintshire,
Denbighshire and part of Cheshire in what is now present day England or whether it extended further west. The tribe occupied an area between the Clwyd and Dee rivers. They lived in hill forts running in a chain through the
Clwydian Range and their tribal capital was
Canovium.
