Dovecote at Barnburgh Hall is a stone-built dovecote located in South Yorkshire, England. The structure dates from the medieval or early post-medieval period and represents a functional agricultural building typical of substantial manorial estates. Dovecotes served the important practical purpose of providing a reliable source of fresh meat and eggs, particularly during winter months, whilst also symbolising the status and rights of the landowner. The Barnburgh example survives as evidence of the economic practices and domestic arrangements of a Yorkshire gentry or manorial household.
