Pocosobo Town, also known as The Rule Site, is a historic archaeological site located near Sheldon, Beaufort County, South Carolina. The site was occupied by the Yamasee Indians, a group that played a crucial role in the early history of the state of South Carolina. This site may have been occupied by the Yemasee as early as 1695, but it was definitely the location of Pocosabo Town from 1707 to 1715.

It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.
