Clawdd-du is the ditch which once provided the outer defences of the faubourg of Overmonnow. A faubourg was the area just beyond the town walls. The waters of the River Monnow could be diverted through here in times of threat. Medieval Clawdd-du Bridge http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4274969 is nearby.
