Castell Tinboeth is a prehistoric hillfort situated in Radnorshire, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under Cadw reference RD038.

The hillfort comprises earthwork defences typical of such monuments, with banks and ditches forming the characteristic fortified enclosure pattern. Its location within Radnorshire reflects the strategic settlement patterns of Iron Age communities in this upland region of mid-Wales.
