Dovecot.
At the south end of the flower-garden stands an old dovecot, conical in form (fig. 144 [SC 1173144]). It is divided into four stages by encircling string-courses or ledges, and has an aperture for the ingress and egress of the pigeons in the centre of the roof. Over the doorway in the basement is the date 1576. The structure is about 30 feet high and measures in diameter over all about 18 feet. Buttresses have in recent years been placed against the basement to strengthen it.
