Description
This is a dovecote located 50 metres south of Manor Farmhouse, built in 1762. It is constructed from coursed limestone rubble with squared dressings and features an old plain-tile roof topped with a wooden glover. The dovecote has a square plan with an entrance on the north side. The squared quoins rise from a rubble plinth, and the entrance has a segmental-arched head with a datestone above it that reads "W (P?)/ 1762". There are window openings on the south and east sides. The roof is pyramid-shaped, with a pyramid-roofed glover and a wooden finial. Inside, there are ashlar nesting-boxes, and the purlins have through-tenons.
