Thanks Xwejnusgozo, bastion was probably the wrong link. I hadn't come across it before by my Dictionary of Civil Engineering defines it as an outwards projection of awall, the example it gives is of a sea wall but I guess it can apply to bridge parapets too. I've removed the link and defined it in brackets in the article - Dumelow (talk) 13:20, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
