Jordanston Farm Promontory Fort is an Iron Age defensive enclosure situated on a naturally commanding promontory in Pembrokeshire, Wales. The site is defined by substantial earthwork defences comprising banks and ditches that cut across the neck of the promontory, exploiting the natural topography to create a strongly fortified position. Dating to the Iron Age period, the fort would have served as a territorial stronghold and possibly a settlement for a local community, reflecting the pattern of promontory fort construction prevalent in southwestern Britain during the later prehistoric period. The monument remains a significant archaeological resource for understanding Iron Age settlement patterns and defensive strategies in medieval and earlier Wales.
