There is debate about which tribe actually lived in Credenhill. Some scholars consider the Decangi to be likely candidates owing to a reference in “Annals” by Tacitus. They were attacked by the Roman Governor Ostorius Scapula around 48CE and defeated. Other candidates are the Silures, Dobunnii or the Cornovii. It seems likely that it was occupied and abandoned and re-occupied several times before being abandoned, possibly because of the new “town” of Kenchester down near the Wye built in the 2nd century CE.
