Dovecote East Of Anguswell

This is a dovecote located east of Anguswell, dating from the mid-18th century, but it includes a re-used carved stone coat-of-arms that is dated 1599. The structure features red sandstone rubble walls with flush dressed quoins and a slate roof with stone hips. It has a square wooden glover topped with a leaded roof. The dovecote is two storeys high and consists of a single bay.

The entrance on the ground floor has a plank door with a chamfered surround, above which is the dated coat-of-arms and a small unglazed window. Inside, the ground floor retains a two-seat dry closet from the 19th century. There is a loft entrance on the south side with a plank door and a small unglazed window leading to the ground floor. The interior of the loft still has its stone boulins around each wall. The coat-of-arms may have originated from an earlier building that once stood on this site.
