Rosemarket Rath is a prehistoric defended enclosure located in Pembrokeshire, Wales. The monument comprises an earthwork consisting of a circular or oval bank and ditch formation typical of Iron Age settlement sites in Wales, though raths of this character may have origins in the Bronze Age or later Iron Age period. Such defensive enclosures served as domestic settlements and livestock corrals for local communities, their morphology reflecting the need for protection and stock management during the prehistoric period. The site's preservation and archaeological designation underscore its importance as evidence of prehistoric settlement patterns and land use in south-western Wales.
