Dovecote 125m north of Minster Lovell Hall is a Grade II listed building and scheduled ancient monument located in Oxfordshire. The structure dates to the medieval period and represents a surviving example of a domestic dovecote, a building type that provided an important source of protein through the keeping of pigeons and doves for local aristocratic or gentry households. The dovecote would have originally served Minster Lovell Hall, the nearby manor house, reflecting the status and resources of its owners. Its survival as a standing structure contributes to the understanding of medieval domestic and agricultural practices in the Thames Valley region.
