Description

Warsetter Dovecot is a 17th-century square-plan doocot made of harl-pointed rubble. It features a gabled north elevation and a piended roof on the south side. The date '1613' is displayed above the pyramidally-arranged nest holes on the north gable, which also has a landing ledge below. A weather vane is mounted on a cast-iron support at the gablehead. The west elevation has a boarded door, while the south side includes a rooflight and paired ventilation holes. The roof is traditionally covered with graded stone tiles. The interior was not seen in 1998.
