Wat's Dyke, Section W of Ty-Gwyn is a linear earthwork of Early Medieval date located in Denbighshire, Wales. This section of the broader Wat's Dyke system represents part of a substantial defensive or demarcatory earthen bank that runs across the landscape, constructed during the Early Medieval period to define territorial boundaries or provide military defence in the Welsh borderlands. The monument survives as an upstanding bank forming part of the wider archaeological and historical record of Anglo-Welsh frontier engineering. This particular section, officially recorded under Cadw SAM reference DE151, preserves evidence of Early Medieval land management and the consolidation of territorial control in north-east Wales during a period of political reorganisation in the region.
