Graig is an electoral district (ward) and coterminous community (parish) of the city of Newport.
The ward is bounded by the Ebbw River and M4 motorway to the east, the city boundary to the north and west. The southern boundary is formed by a line from the M4/A467 intersection in a roughly westerly direction as far as the city boundary.
The ward contains Bassaleg, Rhiwderin and the hamlet of Lower Machen. It also contains the western half of the Foxgloves estate — as the Ebbw passes through the centre, the eastern half is in Rogerstone.
Location of a large roman earthworks fort can been seen from the motorway
