Castle Lake Camp is a prehistoric promontory fort situated on the Pembrokeshire coast. The site occupies a naturally defensible headland position and is characterized by substantial earthwork defences typical of Iron Age fortifications, comprising ditch and bank systems that cut across the promontory to create an enclosed settlement area. The fort dates to the Iron Age period, representing an important example of coastal defensive architecture from this era in south-west Wales. Such promontory forts served as secure settlements and likely functioned as centres of local authority and control of maritime resources during later prehistoric times.
