The Section of City Wall at King Street is a Roman defensive structure forming part of the fortified perimeter of Glevum, the Roman settlement at Gloucester. The wall dates from the late first century AD and represents a significant phase in the Romanisation of the region, constructed during the period when the military fortress was being developed as an urban centre. The surviving masonry demonstrates characteristic Roman construction techniques, with stone foundations and facing typical of provincial military architecture. This section remains an important archaeological resource for understanding the layout and defensive capabilities of one of Britain's significant Roman settlements.
