What is recorded here

Freestanding square-profile dovecote, built c.1830. Supported on piers with arches between piers. High level dovecote with hipped slate roof. Roughcast rendered walls with red brick eaves course. Round-headed opening to south-east facing elevation of dovecote with red brick surrounds. Round-headed blind openings to other elevations.
Although Clonygowan House is long gone, this fine dovecote survives as a reminder of the house and the extent of its estate. Located in full view of the front of the house, the dovecote served a duel purpose and, in addition to providing food, acted as an eye-catcher or folly.
