What is recorded here

Associated with the 17th-century house (LF008-012----) at Castle Forbes that was subsequently incorporated into the present 18th/19th-century house; the dovecote is c. 50m to the W of the house. A square-shaped building (4.8m N-S; 4.8m E-W) with 19th-century battlements; nesting boxes are visible internally (Casey and Rowan 1993, 192). It probably dates from the second quarter of the 17th century. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 18 February 2013
