Priory Rath is a prehistoric defended settlement located in Pembrokeshire, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under Cadw reference PE186. The site comprises a rath, a characteristic form of Iron Age or Early Medieval defended homestead consisting of a circular or oval enclosure defined by earthen banks and ditches. The monument's physical remains reflect the typical layout of such settlements, which served as domestic and defensive structures for small communities in Wales during the later prehistoric and early historic periods. The Pembrokeshire location places it within a region rich in Iron Age settlement archaeology, though the precise dating and chronological phases of occupation at Priory Rath require further archaeological investigation to establish definitive conclusions about its specific period of use.
