Dovecote 220m north of St Philip and St James's Church is a medieval stone dovecote located near the village of Evercreech in Somerset. The structure dates from the medieval period and represents a form of agricultural building that was associated with manorial estates, serving the practical function of housing pigeons for food production and providing valuable fertiliser through their droppings. The dovecote is constructed in stone and survives as a substantial example of this monument type in the county. Such buildings were typically the preserve of lords of the manor, reflecting both the economic importance of pigeon husbandry and the status of the associated landholding during the medieval period.
