Dovecote Approximately 20 Metres South Of Middlefield Farmhouse

This is a dovecote located approximately 20 meters south of Middlefield Farmhouse, dating from the early 17th century. It is built from coursed limestone rubble and features a gabled stone slate roof. The structure is a tall, narrow block with a one-unit plan, standing two storeys high and comprising a one-window range. The doorway has a stop-chamfered timber lintel, and there are hood moulds above early 17th-century one-light hollow-moulded round-arched windows with sunk spandrels on the ground floor and in the gable. The right side wall includes a first-floor doorway leading to the dovecote. Inside, the ground-floor loose box has recesses in the walls, while the dovecote above contains nesting holes.
