Description
The Dovecot at Greigston House is an 18th-century ruin that features a double chamber design and a lean-to structure. It is built from boulder rubble with dressed margins and rough quoins, and it was previously harled. The dovecot has two doors on the south side and a rat course at the eaves. It is currently roofless, with the gables mostly fallen, and there are no nesting boxes remaining.
