Castle Pill is a prehistoric defensive enclosure located in Pembrokeshire, Wales. The site consists of earthwork defences forming an enclosed settlement, characteristic of Iron Age fortified settlements in south Wales, though the precise dating of the monument remains subject to archaeological interpretation. The enclosure's strategic location reflects the defensive requirements of its period and the settlement patterns of late prehistoric communities in the region. Like many comparable sites in Pembrokeshire, Castle Pill represents the material expression of social organisation and territorial control during the later prehistoric period.
