In this article we investigate Berlekamp's negacyclic codes and discover that these codes, when considered over the integers modulo 4, do not suffer any of the restrictions on the minimum distance observed in Berlekamp's original papers. The codes considered here have minimim Lee distance at least 2t+1, where the generator polynomial of the code has roots z,z^3,...,z^{2t+1} for a primitive 2nth root of unity z in a Galois extension of Z4. No restriction on t is imposed. We present an algebraic decoding algorithm for this class of codes that corrects any error pattern of Lee weight at most t. Our treatment uses Grobner bases and the decoding complexity is quadratic in t.
