Crocksydam Camp is a prehistoric promontory fort located on the Pembrokeshire coast in Wales. The site is defended by a single substantial rampart cutting across the neck of a coastal promontory, a characteristic defensive arrangement of Iron Age date, though the precise chronology of the fort remains to be definitively established through systematic excavation. The promontory itself provides natural defensive advantages through its cliff-bound position overlooking the sea, a common locational choice for such coastal fortifications. The site represents an important example of coastal Iron Age settlement and defence in southwest Wales and contributes to understanding prehistoric territorial control and settlement patterns in the region.
