Linney Head Camp is a prehistoric promontory fort located on the Pembrokeshire coast in Wales. The site occupies a naturally defensible headland position and is defined by substantial earthwork defences that cut across the narrow neck of land connecting the promontory to the mainland, a characteristic feature of Iron Age coastal fortifications in Wales. The camp dates to the Iron Age period, when such promontory forts served important defensive and settlement functions for coastal communities. The monument remains a significant example of Iron Age defensive architecture in southwest Wales and is protected under the Cadw Scheduled Ancient Monuments register.
