Description
The Kilrie Dovecot is a rectangular, 17th-century (dated 1684) single-chamber lectern dovecot. It has a crowstepped design with a stepped rat course functioning as an alighting ledge, topped with seven weathered stone finials. The exterior is constructed of rubble with dressed ashlar quoins. A raised inscription, 'BC 1684', is carved above the central south-facing doorway, which features chamfered arrises and a metal yett. The roof is slate-covered and includes flight holes in a raised course. Inside, the dovecot contains 964 stone nesting boxes. Architectural details include beak skewputts and crowsteps. See Niven Robertson’s Old Dovecotes, page 200, for further details.
