Description

The Pigeoncote, dating from the 16th or 17th century, is constructed of rubble and has a circular plan that tapers inward. It features two tiers of projecting courses, with the upper tier forming the base of a shallow saucer dome. On the southeast side, there is a small wooden door with a timber lintel. Inside, the structure is lined with nesting boxes and has ledges for roosting, topped by a corbelled roof.
