Dovecote at Low Hall is a stone-built dovecote located in Yorkshire, England. The structure dates from the post-medieval period and represents the type of utilitarian agricultural building that served to house domesticated pigeons, a valuable resource for protein production on estates. Built in stone with internal nesting holes characteristic of dovecotes of its era, the building demonstrates the constructional methods and spatial organisation typical of Yorkshire rural architecture. The dovecote's survival to the present day provides evidence of historical farming practices and the importance of pigeon husbandry to the domestic economy of the period.
