Tredunnock (Welsh: Tredynog) is a small village in Monmouthshire, south east Wales, in the United Kingdom. Tredunnock is located four miles (6.4 km) northeast of Caerleon and four miles south of Usk.
The River Usk passes close by just below the village in the Vale of Usk and across the river lies the Wentwoodescarpment. The town is located 4 miles (6.4 km) northeast of Caerleon and four miles south of Usk, on a minor road to the west of the A449 road from Newport to Monmouth.[1]

Writing in the Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales in 1870 to 1872, the historian John Marius Wilson described the village thus: "Tredunnock, a parish in Newport district, Monmouth; 4¼ miles S of Usk r. station.

In the early 19th century, at the time of William Coxe's visit to the area, there was a forge at Trostrey, near Kemeys Commander, from which bar iron was sent by road to "Tredunnock bridge" for conveyance down river to Newport and onward for export to Bristol.[4]
