Description
The Se Dovecot at Carskey House consists of two doocots with the same design, located to the southeast and southwest of the house. Both structures date from the 18th century and are octagonal in shape, built from random rubble with pyramidal slated roofs. They feature flight holes positioned below the eaves. The southeast doocot is likely from the late 18th century, while the southwest doocot is clearly a recent copy.
