Buckspool Down Camp is a prehistoric promontory fort situated on the Pembrokeshire coast in Wales. The site occupies a naturally defensible coastal position and is protected by substantial earthwork defences comprising banks and ditches that cut across the promontory neck, a characteristic design of Iron Age coastal fortifications. The camp dates to the Iron Age period, when such defended settlements served important functions in the control of coastal resources and maritime activity. The earthworks remain substantially visible in the landscape, making the site a significant example of prehistoric coastal fortification in Wales.
