Formerly known as Lower Stansty, the term has fallen out of use in preference for Plas Coch in recent years, likely due to the popular retail area which shares its name.

The only part of the original property remaining today is a short length of stone wall at the roadside in front of a branch of The Range.

In 1995 further construction work on the site revealed traces of Roman field boundaries, hearths and a corn drying kiln.

The area coined as "Plas Coch" neighbours the area of Stansty, also part of the community of Rhosddu, to the north, the Shrewsbury-Chester railway line to the east, Wrexham General railway station, the Racecourse Ground and Wrexham city centre, to the south-east, the community of Offa to the south, and the A483 and its bypass covering its west.

The area is largely non-residential and is dominated by the Plas Coch campus of Wrexham University and its many sports facilities.

It was inherited from the former Cartrefle TTC which moved there in 1953, and is a mixture of Grade II listed buildings and modern 21st century facilities.
