Cefn Man Moel is a cross-ridge dyke located in Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under Cadw reference MM345. Cross-ridge dykes of this type are linear earthwork barriers, typically comprising a bank and ditch, constructed across hillsides or ridge routes to control movement and access through the landscape. Such dykes are characteristic of later prehistory and the early medieval period, though their precise chronology and function remain subjects of scholarly investigation. The monument represents an important element of Wales's defensive or territorial landscape archaeology, contributing to understanding of how communities managed and regulated passage through upland terrain during antiquity.
