Rhode Wood Shaft Mounds is a scheduled ancient monument comprising subsidence features created by underground coal mining activity in Pembrokeshire, Wales. The mounds represent the physical legacy of post-medieval and modern industrial extraction, specifically the collapse of mine workings that occurred as shafts were sunk and coal seams were worked beneath the surface. The site dates to the period of coal mining development in South Wales, when such underground operations characterised the industrial transformation of the region. These earthworks form an important archaeological record of Wales's mining heritage and the landscape changes wrought by extractive industries during the post-medieval and modern periods.
