A dovecote about 5m square and about 6m to the base of the gables, with a stepped gable to each face, in local limestone informally coursed. At the foot of the gables is a deep string course carried around all 4 sides. Small square openings centrally within the gables; door to N side.

Interior

Said to retain its pigeonholes and ledges.

Reasons for Listing
