Dovecote S of Glebe Farm is a post-medieval stone structure located in Northumberland. The building dates to the seventeenth century and represents a functional agricultural building type common to prosperous farms of that period. Constructed in stone typical of regional vernacular building practice, the dovecote would have served to house domesticated pigeons, which provided both food and fertiliser for the associated farming estate. Such structures are characteristic of the intensification of agricultural management during the early modern period in northern England.
