A
Roman road passes close to Llanddoged, indicated by the nearby place-name: 'Sarn Ddu' shown on the map as the name of the local sewage works. "Sarn", which meanscauseway in Welsh, has been commonly used to name Roman roads such asSarn Helen , also inRoman Wales . Sarn is also used to indicate defences against water (flood, tide) where these, like Roman roads, involve significant built-up lines of layers of stones was not a causeway for defence against water.A possible route on which this may stand is a NNW-SSE road starting close to the edge of the east bank of
Afon Gonwy , just SE of the Tan-yr-Allt building in Coed Bortho, facing the confirmedRoman fort atCaerhun , suggesting this road may have been to aFerry or ford. It may have run SSE via Sarn Ddu towards Nebo & the A5, but this is still being researched. Another possible route is a WSW-ENE road the route of which may run close to the nearby "Caer Faban", another unconfirmed possible Roman site, in which case Llanddoged / Sarn Ddu may stand in the vicinity of Roman crossroads.External links
