Dovecot at Court House is a post-medieval stone dovecot located in Herefordshire. The structure dates from the 16th or 17th century and represents a substantial agricultural building of its period. Built in stone with a square or rectangular plan typical of dovecots of this era, it would have housed pigeons for the manor house estate. Such dovecots were important adjuncts to considerable houses, providing a reliable source of fresh meat and manure during the medieval and early modern periods.
