Looking south from the corner of Caerphilly Road. Welsh for Crow's Ditch, Ffos-y-fran leads to Ffos-y-fran Close. Ffos is one of a small number of Welsh words derived from Latin, in this case, fossa, a ditch. Fran is a mutated form of bran, a crow. In Welsh, the correct spellings are brân and frân. The circumflex accent distinguishes brân (crow) from bran (bran).
