Historically, the Municipality of Portel has its origins in the mid-13th century, when, from 1257 onwards, D. João Peres de Aboim, who would also become known as D. João de Portel, came into possession of an extensive area, highlighted of the Municipality of Évora.
The town of Portel was practically born with D. João de Portel, and developed in the shadow of the castle he founded or remodeled by him. Incorporated into the Crown in 1301, during the reign of D. Dinis, the town was later, in 1385, integrated into the lordship of D. Nuno Álvares Pereira. The latter, in turn, donated it, in 1422, to his grandson D. Fernando, and Portel then became part of the heritage of the House of Bragança.

I do not remember what is it and after looking through the actual data available on site
didn't find anything related to the time of my visit but I do think it is a kind of protection for a sunshade over an early plant Nursery.
Please find herewith the view of the castle shaded by its walls:
