II*
Dovecote. Medieval or C17. Exterior coursed large sandstone rubble with cut
sandstone door surround; interior has sandstone bands between whinstone
nesting boxes except in upper part, where the boxes are of brick. Circular
plan with walls 1.1 metre thick at the base; convex profile with four set-
backs.
Boarded door on south in chamfered block surround; window opening above and
to left is later insertion. Interior: 10 sets of nesting boxes below remains
of wooden platform, and 5 above.
The dovecote lacks dateable architectural features, but its overall form is
similar to that of a group of dovecotes in the Tees Valley, e.g. Gainford Hall,
Barforth and Caldwell, some of which may be of late medieval date.
