Fishpond Camp is a prehistoric promontory fort located on the Pembrokeshire coast in Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under Cadw reference PE112. The site occupies a naturally defended headland position, utilising the coastal geography to create a fortified settlement during the Iron Age period. The fort is defined by defensive earthworks, including a ditch and bank system that cuts across the promontory neck to seal off the headland from inland approach. Such promontory forts represent a distinctive form of Iron Age settlement in south Wales, serving as defended territorial bases and evidence of social stratification and communal labour organisation during the prehistoric period.
