Rhyd-Brown Camp is a prehistoric promontory fort situated inland in Pembrokeshire, Wales. The site occupies a naturally defensible headland and is protected by earthwork defences comprising banks and ditches that cut across the promontory neck, a characteristic arrangement of Iron Age fortifications in Wales. The monument dates to the Iron Age period and represents the type of enclosed settlement that would have served both defensive and administrative functions for a local community. The fort's inland location distinguishes it from the more numerous coastal promontory forts found elsewhere in Pembrokeshire, suggesting its defensive purpose was oriented towards inland territorial considerations rather than maritime threats.
