Wantyn Dyke is a linear earthwork of Early Medieval date located in Wales and recorded in the Cadw Scheduled Ancient Monuments register as MG208. The monument consists of a substantial bank and ditch construction characteristic of Early Medieval territorial or defensive works. Such dykes typically served to demarcate boundaries between Welsh kingdoms or to control movement across the landscape during the period of the post-Roman Welsh kingdoms. The earthwork remains a significant archaeological record of Early Medieval Welsh settlement patterns and political organisation, though detailed excavation evidence regarding its precise construction date and function remains limited in the published scholarly literature.
