What is recorded here

West Orchard Castle, Dovecot is a Medieval dovecote in the Vale of Glamorgan. It is no grand hall, but a small tower where birds flew home to feed the estate. The contrast between castle and dovecote is the point: even ordinary places can wear the name of power.

The National Monuments Record of Wales records West Orchard Castle, Dovecot as Dovecote from the Medieval period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
