Intensively used in the Roman period, and traversed by Offa's Dyke several centuries later, Tithe Map of 1850 shows perhaps half a dozen houses, all on the south side of the River Cegidog and north of Valley Road.
A substantial Roman site underlies the later village. The settlement, on the roman road from Chester to Caer Gai, was first recorded by Camden in the late 16th century. It appears to have been a civilian community, although the number of tiles attributable to the XXth Legion implies a military connection.
Offa's Dyke is visible as an earthwork to the north of Ffrith. Within the village it has been levelled, and its course followed by the B5101.
