Flimston Bay Camp is a Prehistoric promontory fort located on the Pembrokeshire coast near Tenby, Wales. The site occupies a naturally defensive headland position and is defended by a series of earthwork banks and ditches that cut across the promontory, exploiting the natural cliff edges that form the remaining boundaries. Dating to the Iron Age, the fort exemplifies the defended settlement pattern characteristic of south Wales during the late prehistoric period. The defensive earthworks have been substantially preserved and remain visible as prominent archaeological features on the coastal landscape, making the site of significance for understanding Iron Age settlement and territorial control in South Wales.
