Description
Faenol Fawr Dovecote is a dovecote measuring about 5 meters square and approximately 6 meters tall to the base of the gables. It features stepped gables on each face and is constructed from locally sourced limestone that is informally coursed. A deep string course runs around the base of all four sides. There are small square openings located centrally within the gables, and a door is situated on the north side. The dovecote is reported to still have its pigeonholes and ledges intact.
