Forbury Chapel is a medieval chapel of uncertain dating located in Herefordshire. The structure survives as a ruined stone building, though detailed architectural analysis and archaeological investigation would be required to establish its precise chronology and original function with confidence. Its location within a former fortified enclosure or burh suggests potential Anglo-Saxon origins, though the visible remains are likely to be of later medieval construction or reconstruction. The site represents an important example of religious provision within a defended settlement, reflecting patterns of settlement and ecclesiastical organisation in the English borderlands.
