Description
The dovecote at Beechanger is an early 20th-century structure made of rubble stone. It features a circular tower located on the front wall to the right of the entrance to the house. The tower has three tiers of perch holes, which are separated by four circular flat stones. To protect against predators, there is a ring of iron teeth hanging down over the base stone. This dovecote is included for its group value with Beechanger.
