Dovecote 170m north east of the junction between Main Street and Exton Road is a stone-built dovecote located in Rutland, England. The structure dates from the medieval or early post-medieval period and represents a functional agricultural building typical of established settlements and estates during this era. Dovecotes served as important sources of protein through the rearing of pigeons and doves, and their presence on a property often indicated a degree of wealth and status. The stone construction of this example suggests it belonged to a significant landholding, as such permanent structures required considerable investment compared to more modest timber alternatives.
