Celtic Tribes of Britain and Ireland, c. 50 BC By the mid-1st century BC, Britain and Ireland were home to numerous Celtic tribes, each occupying distinct territories. In southern and eastern Britain, tribes such as the Catuvellauni, Trinovantes, and Atrebates farmed fertile lands, while the Brigantes and Votadini held upland and northern regions. In the west, the Dumnonii and Dobunni combined farming with early metalworking. In Ireland, tribes were organised into tuatha, with groups such as the Ulaid, Connachta, and Érainn controlling local territories and hillforts. These tribes shared language, religion, and material culture but remained politically independent, forming alliances and rivalries that shaped life before the Roman conquest.
