Dovecote at Manor Farm, Draycot Cerne is a stone-built dovecote located in Wiltshire, England. The structure dates from the medieval or early post-medieval period and represents the type of specialised agricultural building that would have served a manorial holding, providing both a reliable source of fresh meat and a practical means of storing grain within the bird droppings that accumulated as valuable fertiliser. The dovecote's physical construction and surviving features contribute to understanding domestic husbandry practices and the layout of working farmsteads in the region during this period.
