Deborah's Hole Camp, Iron Age promontory fort in Swansea, Wales.
The defensive structure extends 130 meters in length and occupies a narrow coastal promontory with a 60-meter-high cliff on its southern side.
Built between 800 BC and 43 AD, this promontory fort features multiple ramparts that effectively separated the fortified area from the mainland.
The site contains archaeological evidence that reveals information about defensive strategies and settlement patterns of prehistoric communities in South Wales.
Visitors can reach the fort through the Wales Coast Path, with the nearest bus stop at bus route 118 from Swansea Quadrant Bus Station.
The inner defended section measures 45 by 30 meters and sits above Deborah's Hole cave, where Stone Age tools were discovered in the 19th century.
