1. Medieval dovecot. Cylindrical stone structure. Corbelled roof.
2. Associated with Monkton Priory (Nprn582),There is some doubt about this structure, the nesting boxes continue across a blocked door in the S side and it is suggested from this, and from its situation 360m distant from Priory Farm, on a circular mound at the highest point of the field, that it may originally have been a windmill. Fenton noted that the dovecote stood in a walled park.
