Description
The Dovecot at Whitehill House is a 17th-century single-bay, rectangular-plan lectern dovecot. It is constructed of random rubble with dressed quoins. Parts of the structure still show a stepped stone rat course or alighting ledge. The southwest elevation is buried under earth and rubble, reaching below the central stone door lintel, where remnants of the rat course and three flight holes can be seen above the door, along with further collapsed flight holes above. The plain gable walls are partially collapsed, with remains of the stepped rat course or alighting ledge visible. The northwest (rear) wall is plain and tall, featuring a rat course. The crowstepped gables on the southwest and southeast elevations are missing, and the dovecot, which once had a slate lean-to roof, has been roofless since 2002. The interior is filled with land slip and vegetation, but remains of stone nesting boxes can be found on all elevations.
