Description

Carphin Dovecot is an 18th-century structure, although the upper portion seems to have been rebuilt. It is a very tall square lean-to, constructed of rubble with crowstepped flanks. The roof is covered with slate and features a row of entrances. There is a segmentally arched doorway, and the potence is still present.
