Brawdy Promontory Fort is a prehistoric defence work located on a promontory near Brawdy in Pembrokeshire, Wales. The fort is defined by substantial defensive earthworks comprising banks and ditches that exploit the natural topography of the headland to create a defended enclosure. Dating evidence and structural characteristics indicate occupation during the Iron Age, when such promontory forts served as secure settlements and centres of local authority in western Britain. The site remains a significant example of Iron Age settlement hierarchy in Pembrokeshire and contributes to understanding of prehistoric Welsh defensive architecture.
