Canaston Wood Enclosure is a prehistoric hillfloq enclosure dating to the Iron Age, located in Pembrokeshire, Wales. The site comprises a substantial earthwork consisting of a single or multiple defensive banks and ditches that enclose a domestic settlement area on sloping terrain. Such enclosures served as stock management facilities and defended homesteads for Iron Age communities, reflecting patterns of settlement and land use typical of western Britain during the later prehistoric period. The monument remains an important archaeological record of Iron Age settlement strategies in south-west Wales, designated for protection under the Welsh heritage system as a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
