Description
The structure consists of walls and the remains of a dovecote located approximately 8 meters east of the Church of St. Nicholas. These walls likely date from the late 17th century and are constructed from coursed squared limestone with stone copings. The eastern part of the wall features a string course and a doorway with irregular blocked jambs, a moulded round arch, a panelled wood tympanum, and a plank door. Extending eastward from the church, the wall connects to the remains of the dovecote, which is believed to date back to 1550. The dovecote is also made of squared coursed limestone, although its roof and a significant portion of one wall are missing. Inside, there are stone nesting boxes.
