MenuSenghenydd Dyke, Glamorgan
Senghenydd Dyke is mediæval dyke around Senghenydd and Abertridwr near Nelson, Glamorgan. The Senghenydd Dyke is a bank and ditch that runs for roughly seven miles enclosing the Aber valley in the Glamorgan uplands, including the villages of Senghenydd and Abertridwr. It consists of a bank with an internal ditch and is thought to have supported the pale or deer fence of a vast mediæval deer park of around 2,500 acres. The dyke faces inwards to prevent the deer escaping. The dyke survives as an earthwork feature through most of its course, which is sometimes followed by current field boundaries. It is within the council area of Caerphilly.
