Description
The curtain wall, gateway, and chapel located to the southwest of Rodborough Fort were built in 1761, with the chapel likely added around 1870. Constructed from random rock-faced rubble limestone with ashlar dressings, this structure forms three sides of a courtyard adjacent to the house at Rodborough Fort.
The main elevation facing southwest features a large, four-centred arched gateway with plank doors, flanked by a tall square turret on the right and a lower circular turret on the left. This section of the curtain wall has a machicolated and crenellated parapet. To the left, the wall continues to a small square corner turret and then extends northwest, stopping short of the house's northwest facade. A section of the wall on the right faces southeast and connects to the house at its southern corner, incorporating another four-centred arched gateway with double plank doors.
Inside the courtyard, a small chapel runs along the northwest-facing wall, featuring four lancet windows on the side and a larger east window with Decorated tracery. The interior of the chapel has not been inspected. This structure is part of a group that includes the house at Rodborough Fort.
