BUCKLAND-TOUT-SAINTS GOVETON
SX 74 NE
6/50 Dovecote c.60 metres
north west of Buckland-
Tour-Saints
Hotel
GV II
Dovecote. Possibly C16 or early C17. Stone, no roof. Circular structure about
4 metres diameter; door opening with concrete lintel, 2-light opening above,
left, and single light to right. The interior has a series of regular square
pigeon openings in 1:5:5:5 rows separated by continuous slate string courses,
and with a slate perch to each hole. The roof has completely disappeared, and
there is some overgrowth (October 1988). The dovecote probably pre-dates the
present Hotel (q.v).
