Details Dovecot, built in circa 1600 with late 18th century additions, and now situated within Glassaugh walled garden (NJ56SE0125) to the east of Glassaugh House (NJ56SE0015). It is a small beehive dovecot constructed in the usual four stages of harl pointed random rubble with tooled rubble dressings. There is a doorway in the east side of the dovecot, apex pigeon entrances and each course defined by stone slate rat course. Original stone nesting boxes are fronted by series of late 18th century brick boxes (184 boxes), thus reducing the interior radius and space.
