Pigeon house at Abercamlais

The pigeon house at Abercamlais is a Grade II* listed dovecote constructed from rubble stone and features two storeys. It has a square base with segmental arched entrances on the east and west sides, which are adorned with stone voussoirs. The west entry includes an iron gate. There is a small window on the south side, while the north window has been blocked.

The tall octagonal structure is windowless and topped with an octagonal stone-tiled roof. It features a louvred octagonal lantern and an ogee curved octagonal dome, complete with a fox weathervane. The wall face steps in on the east and west sides between the base and the octagon, while it rises sheer on the north and south sides, with the stepped areas clad in stone tiles. The dovecote is situated on a bridge over the Camlais river, which has a broad low segmental arch and stone voussoirs.

Inside, the space is open to the roof, with the ground floor supported by oak lintels that carry the inset east and west walls. Diagonal beams support the diagonal faces, which include some timber framing.
