Among other things, Offa built an earthwork wall called Offa's Dyke, which ran nearly the full border between Offa's kingdom of Mercia, and the Welsh kingdom of Powys. This was roughly the border between England and Wales.

The purpose of Offa's Dyke is not really known from history, but it can be surmised that it was a defensive barrier and was also a political indication of power and a demarcation of the border.
