Dovecote Approximately 15 Metres North Of The Pigeon House

The dovecote, located approximately 15 meters north of The Pigeon House, is a structure likely dating from the 17th century. It has undergone extensive restoration in the late 20th century by Sir Colin Crowe, bringing it back from a ruinous state. The dovecote is constructed from random and coursed rubble limestone and features a stone slate roof. It has a circular shape, although the later internal upper floor has been removed.

On the south side, there is a doorway with a timber lintel, and above it, a gabled eaves-mounted dormer. There is also a high-level doorway on the north side that provides access from the bank. The dovecote is topped with a central square lantern that has a pyramid roof and a small ball finial. Inside, the walls are lined with seven rows of pigeon holes and perches. The new roof structure, designed by Mervin Day, includes a circular purlin and is of some interest. The dovecote stands to the north of The Pigeon House.
