Picton Point Camp is a prehistoric promontory fort located on the Pembrokeshire coast in Wales. The site occupies a naturally defensible headland position and is defended by earthwork ramparts that cut across the promontory, creating an enclosed settlement area. Dating to the Iron Age, the fort represents a characteristic form of coastal defensive settlement from this period in Wales. The monument is scheduled as an ancient monument under the care of Cadw, reflecting its archaeological and historical importance to understanding Iron Age settlement patterns and coastal fortification strategies in prehistoric Wales.
