Pembrokeshire is at the western tip of Wales and has a very high number of scheduled monuments. It has 526 in total, and a high density of about 33.4 monuments per 100 square kilometres. About 346 of these are prehistoric, more than two-thirds of the total. To keep the list manageable, it is split into three parts: north Pembrokeshire prehistoric sites, south Pembrokeshire prehistoric sites, and the rest which covers Roman, medieval and post‑medieval monuments.

- Enclosures, hut sites and Raths
- Burial sites such as barrows and chambered tombs
- Stone circles and standing stones
- A variety of other ritual and religious sites

South Pembrokeshire prehistoric list (113 sites)
- Covers similar types of sites as the north list, but in the southern area

Roman, medieval and post-medieval list (182 sites)
- Inscribed stones and stone crosses
- Holy wells and churches, castles, mottes and baileys
- Priories and chapels, houses and town walls
