Description
The Dovecote at Dinam is a single-storey structure, square in shape, with a lean-to addition at the rear (west). It is constructed from rubble masonry and features a pyramidal roof covered with small slates, which forms a catslide over the lean-to. The eaves slightly project and are adorned with a dog-tooth course below, while the hips are tiled, and there is a timber glover with a pyramidal roof at the apex.
The entrance is located in the east wall, consisting of a central square-headed doorway topped with a flat arched brick lintel. On either side of the entrance are slightly recessed, 4-pane fixed light windows with slate sills. Above the entrance, there is a square, slightly recessed, decorated wood panel that features a circular, recessed window with quarter panes in the center, surrounded by a moulded frame and fleur de lys motifs in each corner. The east wall also includes an eaves course made of diagonally set bricks.
On the north return, towards the rear, there is a 16-pane fixed light window. The lean-to addition at the rear (west) has a square-headed doorway in its north wall. Originally, the dovecote had a loft, but it now has a boarded ceiling. The inner face of the decorative panel above the doorway contains a square, inward-opening window.
