Napps Camp is a prehistoric promontory fort located on the Carmarthenshire coast in Wales, officially designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under the reference CM019. The site occupies a naturally defensible headland position, a characteristic feature of Iron Age fortifications in Wales, with defensive earthworks utilising the natural topography of the coastal promontory. The fort's defensive works comprise ditches and banks constructed to protect the narrow neck of land connecting the promontory to the mainland, a common design principle for this class of monument. Though precise dating requires archaeological investigation, the site is consistent with Iron Age promontory fort construction, a settlement type that was prevalent in southwestern Wales during the later prehistoric period.
