Dovecote At Cricket Farm

The dovecote at Cricket Farm is a structure from the mid to late 18th century, built from squared, coursed rubble with a stone slate roof. It stands three storeys high and has one bay. The entrance is located on the left and features a deep, shaped lintel. On the first floor, there is a two-light window, while the second floor has a larger single-light window. The gable ends have copings on cut kneelers. Adjacent to the dovecote is a lower, two-storey building that has been altered; it includes an entrance with a deep lintel, a rebuilt gable wall, and a Welsh slate roof.

Inside the dovecote, the walls are lined with brick and it retains nesting holes in the brickwork as well as in the underdrawn ceiling, which also has wooden perches. The lower building features two open trusses with extended tie-beams.
