Dovecote 70m south west of South Farm is a stone-built dovecote located in Yorkshire, England, recorded on the National Heritage List for England under reference 1016548. The structure dates from the post-medieval period and represents a functional agricultural building type that was common on English estates from the sixteenth century onwards. Dovecotes of this kind served the practical purpose of housing pigeons for meat and eggs, while also functioning as status symbols for landholding families. The surviving masonry construction indicates the building's historical importance as part of the rural economy and settlement pattern of the region.
