Description
The pigeoncote at Aldbrough House is a derelict structure dating from the 16th or 17th century. It is built of rubble and has a circular plan that tapers inwards towards the top. The pigeoncote is overgrown with ivy and other climbing plants, and the northern section of the wall has collapsed, revealing square nesting boxes with ledges below each tier on the inner surface. The remains of a stone slate conical roof can still be seen.
