Description

The building is a 2-storey square dovecote constructed from local rubble stone, topped with a pyramidal slate roof. It features a 'T-shaped' window above the front entrance, which originally had small panes over two lights. The rear wall is blank. To the left of the dovecote is an attached single-storey range that includes three doorways at the front and a small yard. At the time of inspection, the structure was noted to be in poor condition.

Inside the dovecote, there is a slate floor and doveboxes still in place. A central pillar with pilasters may have once supported the potence or could be a reused element.
