It is built from narrow coursed blue lias rubble, with some wider courses, and features a conical tile roof. The dovecote has a circular plan with a diameter of 7.5 metres.
On the exterior, there is a low entrance on the north side, which has a heavy frame supporting a 20th-century wide-boarded door. The lantern on top has a conical roof and is topped with a weather-vane.
