Nash Point Camp is a prehistoric hillfort located on the Glamorgan coast in Wales. The site comprises defensive earthworks consisting of a single substantial bank and ditch system that encloses an area on the headland, representing a form of coastal fortification from the Iron Age period. The camp's position on the exposed promontory provided strategic advantage for monitoring maritime activity and controlling access to the coastal settlement pattern of the region. The monument survives as an important example of Iron Age defensive architecture in South Wales, though coastal erosion has affected portions of the site since its original construction.
