Description
A dovecote in local hammer-dressed uncoursed limestone with selected larger stones and quoins and window or door dressings. The building is square with 4 similar gables, each with a deeply projecting corbel at the base of the gable and stepped copings.
At the centre of each gable is a 2-light opening for access by the pigeons. The door is on the W side, its sill about 2.5m above the ground.
The lowest part appears to have been an undercroft, with a door to the S and small windows to the other 3 sides. The window openings to E and W have grooves in the stonework suggesting they were glazed.
Pigeonholes in stone on all 4 sides, in 13 rows; about 400 holes in total. The dovecote appears to have had an undercroft, but nothing remains of any floor over an undercroft or of any potence.
