Dovecote at Barholm Old Hall is a brick-built structure of seventeenth-century date, located in Lincolnshire. The building represents a functional agricultural monument typical of the early modern period, when dovecotes served the dual purpose of providing fresh meat during winter months and producing valuable fertiliser from accumulated droppings. The dovecote's brick construction reflects the building practices and material availability of its era in the East Midlands. As a designated heritage monument, it survives as evidence of the domestic economy and husbandry practices maintained by the hall's residents during the post-medieval period.
