Offa's Dyke: Section W of Court House Farm is a linear earthwork forming part of the eighth-century frontier monument constructed during the reign of King Offa of Mercia. This section of the dyke, located in Wales, comprises a substantial bank and ditch formation typical of the wider defensive and demarcatory system that extended across the Anglo-Welsh border. The earthwork dates to the Early Medieval period, specifically the late eighth century, and represents an important engineering achievement of Anglo-Saxon military administration. The monument is protected as a scheduled ancient monument under the Cadw designation MG138, recognising its archaeological and historical significance in understanding early medieval territorial control and border definition.
