West Popton Camp is a prehistoric promontory fort located on the Pembrokeshire coast in Wales. The site occupies a naturally defensible headland position and dates to the Iron Age, representing a significant example of coastal fortification from this period. The fort's defences consist of substantial earthwork banks and ditches that cut across the narrow neck of the promontory, effectively isolating the headland and creating a strongly fortified enclosure. As a Scheduled Ancient Monument under Cadw protection, West Popton Camp provides important evidence of Iron Age settlement patterns and defensive strategies in the coastal regions of south Wales.
