Rhyd-Brown Camp is a prehistoric promontory fort situated inland in Pembrokeshire, Wales. The site occupies a naturally defensible position and dates to the Iron Age, representing an important example of the fortified settlements that characterised this period in Wales. The fort is defined by substantial earthwork defences, comprising banks and ditches that exploit the topography of the promontory to create an enclosed settlement area. Such structures served both defensive and administrative functions within Iron Age communities, and Rhyd-Brown Camp's inland location reflects the diversity of settlement patterns across the region during this era.
