Cromwell's Mound is a Civil War fieldwork located in Lancashire, England. The earthwork dates to the English Civil War period of the mid-seventeenth century and represents the military engineering undertaken during the conflict. The mound survives as a substantial defensive work, characteristic of the temporary fortifications constructed by Parliamentary or Royalist forces during the campaigns in the North West of England. Such Civil War earthworks are valuable archaeological witnesses to the strategic military operations and territorial control contested across the Lancashire landscape during this turbulent period.
