The view and dimensions given in collection item PA229/23/88 suggest that the building at NO37694 09708 might be identified as the dovecot rather than the sited building, but this cannot be verified from map evidence at the time of entry. (Anne Cassells, 10 July 2008).
Field Visit (8 June 1925)
DOVECOT. The dovecot is contemporary with the house and is complete but has a modern roof. It is an oblong structure, 26 ¼ by 15 ½ feet, with crow-stepped flanks, on which the string-course breaks upwards. The entrance, a doorway chamfered at jamb and lintel, faces south, and there is a small window in the eastern wall. The nests are of stone.
