Rath S of St James Church is a prehistoric defended settlement located in Pembrokeshire, Wales, and is registered as a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw reference PE189. The site dates to the Iron Age and represents a form of fortified domestic settlement characteristic of Wales during the later prehistoric period. The rath, or circular defensive earthwork, would have served as an enclosed homestead, providing protection and defining the territorial space of a community. Like similar raths across Wales and Ireland, the site consists of an earth bank and ditch forming a roughly circular enclosure, though subsequent agricultural use and erosion have affected its survival and visibility in the landscape.
