Cefn Morfydd Dyke and Earthwork is a linear earthwork of Early Medieval date located in Wales. The monument consists of a substantial bank and ditch system that represents a significant territorial or defensive boundary constructed during the early medieval period. Such linear earthworks are characteristic of the period when Welsh kingdoms were establishing and maintaining territorial divisions, though the precise dating and original function of this particular example require careful archaeological assessment. The surviving earthwork preserves important evidence of early medieval landscape organisation and social territoriality in Wales.
