Overview

History & significance

Coleman Dovecot is a post-medieval dovecote located in Carmarthenshire, Wales, dating from the early modern period. The structure exemplifies the agricultural buildings associated with substantial Welsh rural estates of this era, when dovecotes served as important sources of protein and fresh meat for gentry households. The dovecote is constructed in traditional stone masonry typical of Welsh vernacular building practices. As a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw protection (SAM CM152), it represents a surviving example of the specialised farm buildings that characterised the subsistence and commercial farming strategies of post-medieval Welsh landholders.
