The Bulwark is a Civil War fieldwork and World War II defensive installation located approximately 150 metres north of Earith Bridge in Huntingdonshire. The site comprises earthwork remains from the English Civil War period, when it served as a fortified position, subsequently modified and reused during the Second World War as a gun emplacement as part of the wider coastal and inland defence network constructed against the threat of German invasion. The monument preserves evidence of seventeenth-century military engineering overlaid by twentieth-century defensive infrastructure, representing the landscape's strategic importance across two major conflicts separated by more than three centuries.
