Description
This is a dovecote dating from the late 17th century, constructed from coursed limestone rubble and topped with a pyramidal stone slate roof that features a ball finial. The structure has two storeys and consists of one bay. The limestone rubble walls are attached to the dovecote and the adjacent house, enclosing two gardens measuring approximately 18 by 15 meters and 30 by 14 meters. To the left, there is a small late 17th-century bakehouse made of limestone rubble, which has a gabled stone slate roof and late 17th-century two-light ovolo-moulded wood-mullioned windows.
