History

The barracks was begun in 1843 and opened in 1845. The first phase of buildings, which included this range, was probably built by Colonel Ord, the Government Royal Engineer, and was designed to accommodate a cavalry regiment; it was also used by some infantry units and was variously known as Cavalry Barracks and Artillery Barracks. Renamed Raglan Barracks in 1963 when, following conversion, it became home to the Monmouthshire Territorial and Auxiliary Forces Association.

Exterior

Single-storey coursed rubble building with plinth, rock-faced quoins and freestone dressings to window and door openings. Slate roof, hipped to front (SW) end over open porch; roof here carried on iron columns. Rendered brick chimney stack to centre. 12 pane sash windows (one with horizontal glazing bar missing) including to front beside boarded door entrance with 3 pane overlight.
