List of scheduled monuments in Wrexham County Borough
Wrexham County Borough is in north-east Wales, straddling the ancient border earthwork Offa's Dyke. There are 107 scheduled monuments in the county borough. The 29 Bronze Age and Iron Age sites are mainly found to the west of Offa's dyke, and are in the main burial mounds and hillforts on the uplands. To the east of the dyke are the majority of the 18 medieval sites, mainly domestic, defensive or ecclesiastical. Running through the centre are the 28 early medieval sites along Offa's Dyke, and 10 scheduled sections of the older Wat's Dyke. Close by, clustered around the coal and mineral deposits in a central belt are also the 19 post-medieval sites. These are extraction and industrial sites, plus the World Heritage Site at Pontcysyllte Aqueduct. The Wrexham administrative area lies within the two historic counties of Denbighshire and Flintshire.
Scheduled monuments have statutory protection. The compilation of the list is undertaken by Cadw Welsh Historic Monuments, which is an executive agency of the National Assembly of Wales.[1] The list of scheduled monuments below is supplied by Cadw[2] with additional material from RCAHMW and Clwyd-Powys Archaeological Trust.
Circular mound interpreted as a preaching mound, although a motte or barrow are possibilities. Located near the centre of Dyffryn Ceriog Llanarmon, and named after the local saint Garmon.
These shafts had two periods of lead extraction, in the 18th and the mid-19th centuries. A restored pumping engine house, boiler house and chimney, winder engine house, rock crusher house, restored ore house and buddles are all part of the Minera Lead Mines Country Park.
Built by Taylors mining company from 1872, this site within the Lead Mines complex, extracted lead ore from existingheaps of low grade waste ('halvans'). The plant included a beam engine, Cornish crushers, boiler house and six buddles.
Located lower down the valley side than the older Minera lead mines, this site was worked from 1889 until the early 20th century. Now partially excavated, it has remains of various innovative items of machinery.
