Dovecote 600m east of Home Farm is a stone-built dovecote located in Nottinghamshire. The structure dates to the medieval or early post-medieval period and represents a building type that served both practical and status-conscious purposes within agricultural estates. Such dovecotes functioned as repositories for domesticated pigeons, which provided a valuable source of fresh meat during winter months and whose droppings offered fertiliser for fields. The survival of this example contributes to the archaeological record of rural domestic architecture and animal husbandry practices in the East Midlands.
