Monument Number 6527

Hob Uid: 6527
Location :
Northumberland
Ancroft
Grid Ref : NU0352043590
Summary : Probable 17th/18th century dovecote surviving as a roofless structure.
More information : Dovecot (NR) (1)

NU 0352439. Upon a slight knoll amid undulating pasture
land, a dovecot in a good state of repair and still in use.

It is circular, 6.7m in diameter, tapering slightly, upwards to an
approximate height of 9m, and has a conical-shaped roof of timber,
covered with stone tiles. The walls are of dressed stone, roughly
coursed and cemented, and plastered over on the interior. The
interior is faced up to the roof with brick-constructed pigeon-holes.

There is a wooden door on the E side, and a blocked-up doorway on
the W side. There are several square openings, at different heights
around the tower.

The form of this Dovecot suggests a 17th cent. date. (2)

As described and illustrated. (3)

Condition unchanged. (4)
