The dovecote and house remains at Hills of Dunipace in Stirlingshire represent a modest agricultural settlement of post-medieval date. The dovecote, situated approximately 200 metres north-east of the main house site, is a stone-built structure typical of Scottish rural properties where such buildings served both practical and status functions, enabling the keeping of pigeons for food and their droppings for fertiliser. The accompanying house remains indicate a small domestic establishment characteristic of the early modern period occupation of this locality. Together, these structures document the material culture and settlement patterns of rural Stirlingshire during the centuries following the medieval period.
