Description
The dovecote, likely built around 1840, is constructed from rubble with tooled-and-margined quoins and dressings. It features a Welsh slate roof topped with a wooden cap covered by synthetic sheeting and has a cast-iron weathervane. The building has a square plan.
On the south elevation, there is a boarded door beneath a partially slatted window, both set in chamfered alternating-block surrounds. Below the eaves, there is a pigeon entry with three arched holes, a projecting sill, and a stone surround. The dovecote has a pyramidal roof, and the box cap includes three additional arched holes and a pyramidal top with a fox weathervane.
The attached yard walls feature arched coping and have gateways on the south and east sides, with the eastern gateway supported by arched monolithic piers. Near the east end of the south wall, there is a recess with a chamfered lintel, likely intended for a water trough.
