Description
Freestanding square-profile dovecote to the former Clonygowan House, built c.1830. Ssupported on piers with arches between piers. High level dovecote with hipped slate roof.

Appraisal
Although Clonygowan House no longer survives, this fine dovecote survives as a reminder of the former estate and house. Located in the front site of the house, this dovecote was designed in the manner of a folly and to be in full view of the house. Having fallen into dereliction, it was re-roofed. |
