People attend lectures, play tennis, watch football and catch their trains beside Wat’s Dyke in central Wrexham!
You can see the dyke close to Glyndŵr University campus, Wrexham Tennis Centre and Wrexham Racecourse Ground, home to Wrexham A.F.C. There are also some badly damaged sections of Wat’s Dyke surviving between the railway lines and Crispin Lane. Archaeologists are always searching for other surviving sections of the dyke that may still be hidden.
While the ancient dyke has been largely destroyed at Wrexham General railway station, a reconstructed section can also be seen between the railway line and the Premier Inn Hotel on Jacques Way. Reconstructing ancient monuments like Wat’s Dyke can be a good way for archaeologists to figure out what construction methods were used to build them, and how much effort and time building it would have taken.
