Abstract:		 Archaeological excavation at the Clawdd Mawr cross-ridge dyke Scheduled Monument demonstrated that it comprises a 5m-wide by 0.4m-high earthen bank, flanked by a single shallow ditch on the upslope side. Optically Stimulated Luminescence dating established that the bank overlies a Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age buried soil horizon and that the flanking ditch probably silted up c. AD 0–800. Previous studies have suggested an early medieval date for the cross-ridge dykes of south-east Wales. The new dating does not disprove this suggestion, but a critical analysis of the evidence has shown that previous assumptions regarding the date of this type of monument, though probably correct, have yet to be confirmed by scientific means.
