Linney Head Camp, Castlemartin

Promontory Fort

What is recorded here

Linney Head Camp, Castlemartin stands as a Prehistoric and Iron Age promontory fort, where ancient hands shaped the edge of Pembrokeshire into a weapon against the sea. The cliff itself became the wall, reducing human labour to mere stone arranging while the ocean supplied the remaining defence. People may have watched ships, hidden herds, or simply feared the dark water, but the camp still points outward like a finger waiting for an answer.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Linney Head Camp, Castlemartin as Promontory Fort from the Prehistoric; Iron Age period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
