I was quite keen to see this as I'd often seen 'Dovecote' marked on the OS maps and always wondered what form they would take. I knew it would not be a white wooden box on a pole, but I didn't really expect this.
Several rows of little holes form most of a circular building all made out of rough stone slabs. What remains here is, judging from a nearby sign, just the bottom of what would have been a 6-8 foot tall, roofed building.
It really is a quite fascinating place. Being raised up above abbey it offers some splendid views.
