Deborah's Hole Camp is a prehistoric promontory fort located on the Welsh coast and designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under the reference GM128. The site comprises defensive earthworks that exploit the natural topography of a coastal promontory, a characteristic defensive strategy employed during the Iron Age and potentially earlier periods. The fort's physical form demonstrates the strategic positioning of settlement and defensive structures to command views of the surrounding landscape and coastal approaches. Such promontory forts represent an important category of Iron Age fortification in Wales, serving functions related to settlement, control of resources, and territorial assertion during the later prehistoric period.
