Narberth Mountain Enclosure is a prehistoric hilltop enclosure located in Pembrokeshire, Wales, dating to the Iron Age period. The monument comprises a substantial defensive earthwork consisting of a bank and ditch that enclose the summit of the hill, reflecting the settlement and fortification practices characteristic of Iron Age communities in south Wales. Its elevated position would have provided strategic command of the surrounding landscape and access to pastoral resources. The enclosure represents an important example of Iron Age settlement hierarchy and territorial organisation in the region, though the site remains incompletely excavated and studied compared to other contemporary monuments in south Wales.
