Dovecote at Burnt House Farm is a brick-built dovecote of seventeenth-century date located in Kent. The structure represents the domestic agricultural architecture typical of early modern farmsteads, when such buildings served the practical purpose of housing pigeons for meat and eggs as well as providing a visible marker of the landowner's status and resources. The dovecote survives as evidence of the husbandry practices and social hierarchy of rural Kent during the post-medieval period. Its brick construction and surviving form contribute to the archaeological and architectural record of seventeenth-century vernacular building in the county.
