Deborah's Hole Camp is a prehistoric promontory fort situated on the Welsh coast, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under Cadw reference GM128. The site exploits a natural coastal headland, defended by substantial earthworks that cut across the promontory to create an enclosed defensive position overlooking the sea. Dating to the Iron Age, the fort represents a characteristic example of Welsh coastal settlement strategy, with its location providing both defensive advantage and access to maritime resources. The earthwork defences and promontory configuration suggest a settlement of some permanence, likely serving both defensive and administrative functions within its local Iron Age community.
