The Dovecote at The Manor is a brick-built structure located in Wiltshire and forms part of the heritage assets associated with The Manor estate. The dovecote dates to the post-medieval period and represents the functional agricultural buildings that were typically maintained by substantial landholding properties during this era. As a listed monument, it contributes to the understanding of rural domestic economy and the management of provisions on country estates, where dovecotes served the practical purpose of housing pigeons for food production and their valued droppings for fertiliser.
