Fishpond Camp is a prehistoric promontory fort located on the Pembrokeshire coast of Wales. The site occupies a naturally defensible headland position and is defined by substantial earthwork defences characteristic of Iron Age coastal settlements, though the precise dating and duration of occupation remain subjects of archaeological study. The fort commands views over the Bristol Channel and represents an important example of the promontory fort tradition found along the Welsh coastline, where topography was exploited to create naturally fortified settlements. The site's coastal location suggests it may have served functions relating to maritime activity, territorial control, or defence during the later prehistoric period.
