Monument Number 193250

Hob Uid: 193250
Location :
Somerset
South Somerset
Montacute
Grid Ref : ST4970016861
Summary : A stone-built dovecote located on the north side of the medieval priory precinct at Montacute. The architectural style of the building suggests a 17th century date, possibly with 15th century origins. Listed and scheduled.
More information : Apart from the gatehouse (ST 41 NE 6) the only other
remains of the priory is a square dovecoate standing a little
to the E of the gatehouse. The field behind the house, however,
contains evidence of former buildings. (1)

ST 49701686. The square medieval dovecote survives intact, with
a small arched doorway, tiled roof and the interior lined with
nesting boxes. The field centred ST 49661683 has been so
disturbed by stone robbing that no surface plan is readily
discernible in the undulations, irregular scarps and hollows
which occur in the area. (2)
