The Bulwarks is a Civil War period earthwork located in Carmarthenshire, Wales. Dating to the seventeenth century, the site comprises defensive fortifications constructed during the English Civil War era. The earthwork represents the military engineering practices of the period, when both Parliamentarian and Royalist forces constructed temporary and semi-permanent field fortifications across Wales to control strategic positions and supply lines. As an unclassified post-medieval monument, The Bulwarks provides material evidence of the conflict's impact on the Welsh landscape and the tactical considerations of Civil War commanders operating in the region.
