Disgrifiad
Wat's Dyke is situated behind Vicarage field in Ruabon. Wat's Dyke is older than Offa's Dyke and is thought to have been built between 700 and 750 by Aethelbald, the King of Mercia before Offa, although some people now think it is maybe 300 years older.
It extends for 62 kms (38 miles) from the Dee Estuary to near Oswestry. The bank was originally 2 metres (over 6 feet) high with a "V" shaped ditch. Although there is no certainty as to who Wat was, with some believing he was a King of Mercia and others saying that he id not exist at all, and with the name of Wat being a personal name during the Anglo-Saxon period, and even that the word could also mean wet or rough, the only certainty is that the Dyke exists.
