Pembrey Old Harbour is a post-medieval and modern maritime structure located in Carmarthenshire, Wales, serving as evidence of the region's maritime trade and commercial development. The harbour reflects the expansion of port facilities along the south Welsh coast during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, when coal extraction and related industries transformed the local economy. The structure itself comprises the physical remains of harbour works including pier elements, which demonstrate the engineering solutions applied to facilitate coastal trade and the movement of goods from the industrial hinterland. As a scheduled monument under Cadw protection, Pembrey Old Harbour represents an important record of Wales's maritime and industrial heritage during the post-medieval period.
