Offa's Dyke: Chirk Park Section is a linear earthwork forming part of the defensive frontier constructed during the reign of King Offa of Mercia in the late eighth century. This 340-metre section, situated northeast of Home Farm in Denbighshire, comprises a substantial bank and ditch arrangement typical of the monument's construction across the Wales-England border. The earthwork represents a significant example of early medieval territorial demarcation and military engineering, though this particular stretch has been subject to various degrees of preservation and modification since its original construction. The monument is recognized and protected as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under the reference DE198 by Cadw, the heritage organisation of Wales.
