Description

The dovecot located to the south of Dunroyal House dates from the late 18th century. It is constructed of reddish-brown local brick and features stepped eaves. The roof is pyramidal and covered with pantiles, including a central vent and vane, although the vane is now partly fallen. The south face of the dovecot has a blind Diocletian panel. At the time of the last survey, the structure was noted to be very dilapidated.
