Full Description
Remains of dovecot, now roofless, within the grounds of Newton House (NJ16SE0020) attached to the exterior southeast corner of the walled garden (NJ16SE0130). The walls appear to have been rebuilt. The blocked up nesting boxes in the west wall are all that remains to indicate that it was formerly a dovecot. Now used to store manure.
