The outshut on the south side has a coped verge on its tiled roof, an open window, and a planked door. Inside, the dovecote is lined with stone pigeon boxes and has a three-bay roof supported by vee-struts connecting the tie-beams to the principals, with straight bracing from the tie-beams to the walls. The walls are approximately 1 metre thick.
