Castle Pill is a prehistoric defensive enclosure located in Pembrokeshire, Wales. The site consists of a hilltop fortification whose earthwork defences reflect the strategic concerns of Iron Age communities in southwest Wales, though earlier occupation cannot be entirely excluded. The surviving remains comprise substantial banks and ditches that once enclosed a defended settlement, demonstrating the defensive architecture characteristic of Iron Age hill fort construction in the region. Castle Pill's position within the Pembrokeshire landscape suggests it served as a focal point for control and protection during the later prehistoric period.
