Dovecot 520m north-east of Whitsand Bay Hotel is a listed stone dovecot located in the parish of Maker, Cornwall. The structure dates from the post-medieval period and represents a form of agricultural building designed for the keeping of domesticated pigeons, which provided a valuable source of meat and fertiliser for local estates. The dovecot survives as a testament to the established farming practices of early modern Cornwall, when such buildings formed an integral part of the infrastructure supporting manorial or gentry properties in the region.
