OS 6"map, Morayshire, 2nd ed., (1906)

The Woodlands dovecote is now almost gone but appears to have been a square with 13 foot sides and walls 1 1/2 feet thick and to have been reconstructed for use as a cat tle shelter or cart shed.

All that remains of this dovecot is part of its eastern wall standing no higher than 1.0 metre. The other sides are represented by small heaps of rubble.
