South Hook Camp is a prehistoric promontory fort located on the Pembrokeshire coast in Wales. The site occupies a naturally defensible headland position and is demarcated by defensive earthworks comprising banks and ditches that cut across the promontory neck, a characteristic feature of Iron Age coastal fortifications in south Wales. The monument dates to the Iron Age period, though the precise chronology remains subject to ongoing archaeological investigation. Its strategic location overlooking the Milford Haven estuary suggests it served functions related to territorial control and possibly maritime activity during the later prehistoric period.
