What is recorded here
Flimston Bay Camp is an Iron Age promontory fort where natural coastline and human defence merge. The bay itself may have been the first moat, reflecting sky and warning intruders before stone or ditch appeared. People likely stood at that edge, reading the sea for danger, food or change.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Flimston Bay Camp, Castlemartin; Flimston Bay Promontory Fort as Defended Enclosure; Promontory Fort from the Iron Age period.

Built during the Iron Age, Flimston Bay Promontory Fort was constructed as a defensive structure, likely by pre-Roman Celtic tribes. It is important as an example of ancient coastal defenses and provides insight into early settlement and strategic land use in Wales.
