Dovecote to north-
east of Rose Castle,
formerly listed with
Rose Castle
G.V. II*
Former Dovecote. Dated 1700 over entrance. Large blocks of coursed red
sandstone (probably from part of the medieval castle) on squared plinth with
flush quoins, gable string course; sandstone slate roof with coped gables and
kneelers. Small, almost square, 1½ storeys. Chamfered-surround entrance in
gable wall, with dated lintel. Small oculi above. Small square opening in
opposite gable. Interior has its complete boulins on 3 sides. See Transactions
Cumberland & Westmorland Antiquarian & Archaeological Society, old series, ix,
p425. Mention of a dovecote in a Parliamentary survey of 1649 may indicate that
the building is earlier than the date. Other references refer to the dovecote
as having been a watch tower. Has G.V. with Rose Castle.
