Description

The dovecot at Bass Rock Farm dates back to the 18th century and is a two-stage circular structure made of random rubble, which was previously harled. It features a projecting rat course that separates the two stages. There is a low doorway at the ground level, and in the upper stage, there is a square opening that contains four rows of light holes. The northern perimeter of the upper stage is stepped up.
