In a field SE of Newbigging farmhouse, there is a two-compartment 18th-century lectern dovecot. It is of rubble build, with a slated roof and crow-stepping applied to the side-walls and pedimented rear-wall; each pediment is crowned by a ball finial. The skews are cavetto-moulded, there is a stepped rat ledge, and bird-entry ports are set above each of the two doorways in the S wall and in a horizontal scarf in the roof. Both doors have been remodelled, but the stone boxes still remain in the interior.
