Description
This is a circular dovecot built in the early to mid-18th century, constructed from rubble. It features a continuous rat course that encircles the building above the eastern doorway. The roof is made of local slate and is conical in shape, with a central flight hole that is covered by a later wooden cupola. This cupola has flight holes and is topped with a spiked ball finial.
Inside, there is a central potence with nine arms that rotates on a rubble plinth. The wooden nesting boxes are in poor condition, and all the woodwork is made of pine.
