Tower Point Rath is a promontory fort located on the Pembrokeshire coast in Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under Cadw reference PE281. The site comprises defensive earthworks that exploit a naturally defensible coastal promontory, a strategic location characteristic of Iron Age settlement patterns in Wales. The fort's ramparts and associated features reflect the defensive priorities of later prehistoric communities, though precise dating remains dependent on archaeological assessment of the site's stratigraphy and artefactual evidence. Such promontory forts served both protective and territorial functions for Iron Age populations occupying the Welsh coastal zone.
