unfortified

Lacking protective barriers

Unfortified describes something lacking fortification or reinforcement.

An unfortified town has no defensive walls or military protection.

Unfortified wine contains no added alcohol—unlike port or sherry, which are fortified with brandy.

An unfortified position in chess or warfare is vulnerable to attack.
