It lies parallel to the Berthon Brook, a minor trubutary of the River Usk. History and amenitiesMonkswood derives its name from the area of land farmed by monks from Usk in medieval times. After a battle near Usk, the Battle of Pwll Melyn, during the Owain Glyndŵr rebellion in the early 15th century the Welsh forces were pursued across the River Usk and through Monkswood where many were slaughtered.
