Title: Portchester Castle, Hampshire [Go to resource]
Description: This is the west gate, also known as Land Gate or Landport, to Portchester Castle. It dates from the second phase of Norman building in the keep, much altered in the fourteenth century. The outer archway dates from 1320. The chamber over the gate was used as the principal punishment cell for prisoners of war, such as those caught attempting to escape. Part of the curtain wall is also shown. The gate occupies a space formerly used as a Roman gate.
