Associated with Foulksrath Castle (KK010-056001-) and bawn (KK010-056007-). In the NE angle of the bawn, there is a circular turret (int. diam. 4.35m; wall T 1.07m; wall H 3.8m) with a doorway facing SW (H 1.9m; Wth 0.92m) and two windows, all reconstructed. The turret's original function was as a defensive feature on the bawn and as such would have been higher than the present structure. At some stage, probably in the late 18th century, the turret was converted into a dovecote and the corbelled conical roof dates to this phase.
