Dovecot, now disused and in a ruinous condition, built in circa 1810 to the north-east of Auchernach House (NJ31NW0006). It was converted to a silo prior to falling into disuse. The unusual circular dovecot is constructed from snecked rubble, with contrasting squared rubble long and short margins and quoins, an ashlar band course and slate alighting ledge, early grey slates, a finialled conical roof and low, symmetrical, rectangular-plan, pavilion-roofed wings. The entrance to the south has a later concrete shaft projecting over the doorway. A henhouse pavilion wing to the west has a centre door and small hen entrance close to the ground with nesting recesses to the interior. The roof of this wing is largely intact, and the wing to the east is ruinous.
