Eastgate and stretch of city wall is a Roman monument forming part of the defensive fortifications of the city of Gloucester, ancient Glevum. The structure dates from the late second century AD and represents a substantial section of the stone-built city wall that encircled the Roman settlement. The gate itself, positioned at the eastern entrance to the city, survives in fragmentary form alongside an adjacent length of the original wall, which displays characteristic Roman masonry construction. These remains constitute significant evidence of Roman urban planning and military engineering in Britain during the later imperial period.
