Flimston Bay Camp is a Neolithic or Bronze Age promontory fort located on the Pembrokeshire coast near Bosherston. The site is defended by a substantial bank and ditch cutting across the headland, creating an enclosed area that would have served defensive and possibly ceremonial functions. Its strategic position on the coastal promontory suggests use as a stronghold or refuge settlement during prehistory, commanding views across the sea and surrounding landscape. The monument remains an important example of prehistoric coastal fortification in south Wales.
