Castell Gwyn is a prehistoric hillfort situated in Pembrokeshire, Wales, and is recorded in the Cadw Schedule of Ancient Monuments under reference PE225. The site dates to the Iron Age and represents a form of defended settlement characteristic of that period in South Wales.

Such fortified hilltops were typical of Iron Age settlement patterns in Wales, serving both defensive and territorial functions within the landscape of prehistoric communities.
