Clawdd Llesg is a linear earthwork located in Merionethshire, Wales, dating to the Early Medieval period. The monument consists of a substantial bank and ditch running across the landscape, typical of boundary works constructed during the post-Roman centuries in Wales. Such linear earthworks served practical defensive and territorial functions, marking the limits of Welsh kingdoms and commotes during the early medieval period. The earthwork remains a significant archaeological feature for understanding territorial organisation and land division in Early Medieval Wales.
