Description

The dovecote at Esgonty Farm features a slate roof with overhanging eaves that extend over a stone perch ledge supported by timber brackets. Doves can enter through round openings in the gables on the east and west sides, with boarded doors located below these openings. Inside, there are approximately 250 boxes, and a stop-chamfered beam is present on the ground floor. It appears that there was no potence.
