Description
The dovecote and garden walls located at the rear of Tuggal Hall date from the 18th century. The dovecote is constructed of random rubble, with some areas patched using old brick, and features a Welsh slate roof. It is two storeys high and has a square layout with a single bay. On the ground floor, there is a six-pane fixed window and a row of six pigeon holes above. A boarded door is positioned on the right side, and the structure is topped with a pyramidal roof. Inside, there are brick nesting boxes for the pigeons.
The garden walls enclose three sides of the garden, with the southern side bordered by the house. The wall on the east and north sides is notably high, measuring between 15 to 20 feet, while it ramps down to approximately 7 feet on the west side, featuring flat coping. There is a garden cottage built against the east wall, but it is not considered of special interest.
