Dovecot at Stockton Bury is a stone-built dovecote of medieval or early post-medieval date located in Herefordshire. The structure survives as a testament to the agricultural economy of its period, when such buildings served the practical purpose of housing pigeons for food and fertiliser production on substantial estates. The dovecote's physical form and construction details reflect the building traditions of its era, though the precise dating and constructional phases require examination of the masonry and any surviving internal features.
