| Details |
Small cylindrical dovecot, built in the late-18th or early-19th century, and constructed of harled rubble with tooled rubble dressings. There is pigeon accommodation in upper half and hen house accommodation in the lower portion. There is continuous row of pigeon entrances around building above rat course, using the ledge as a landing platform. Below the rat course is an entrance facing South. There is a second entrance in the upper portion at the East, giving access to the pigeon loft. There is a conical roof built with local slate, which collapsed at some time before 2008. Inside, the hen boxes are built around the base of the building in the wall, and the pigeon boxes are scooped out of thickness of wall. The ceiling that separates the hens and pigeons does not survive. There were also probably wooden nesting boxes in the pigeon loft that no longer survive.
