West Pickard Camp is a prehistoric promontory fort located on the Pembrokeshire coast in Wales. The site occupies a naturally defensive headland position and is protected by ramparts and ditches that cut across the promontory neck, a characteristic defensive arrangement of Iron Age coastal fortifications in Wales. The fort dates to the Iron Age period, when such enclosed settlements served both defensive and settlement functions for coastal communities. The physical remains demonstrate the strategic importance placed on controlling this section of the Pembrokeshire coastline during prehistory.
