Linney Head Camp is a prehistoric promontory fort located on the Pembrokeshire coast in Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under Cadw reference PE316. The site occupies a naturally defensive headland position, with its fortifications comprising banks and ditches that cut across the neck of the promontory to create an enclosed defensive enclosure. Dating to the Iron Age, the monument represents a characteristic form of coastal settlement and defence strategy employed during the later prehistoric period in Wales. The site's commanding maritime location suggests it may have served functions related to territorial control, storage of valuable goods, or protection during a period of significant social and economic activity in the region.
