Promontory Fort on Fleming's Down is a prehistoric defence work located inland in Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw's records. The fort occupies a naturally defensible promontory position, a characteristic siting strategy for Iron Age fortifications in the Welsh landscape. Its physical form comprises earthwork defences that would have exploited the topography to create an enclosed settlement area. This monument represents an important example of the hillfort and promontory fort tradition that characterised the later prehistoric period in Wales, particularly the Iron Age.
