Kinwarton Dovecot is a medieval circular stone structure located in Warwickshire, dating to the fourteenth century. The dovecot is constructed of coursed stone and features a conical roof, preserving a form typical of high medieval domestic architecture. It originally served the manorial complex at Kinwarton, functioning as a practical resource for the production of food in the form of squabs and dung for fertiliser. The structure represents a well-preserved example of medieval agricultural building design and remains an important monument to the material culture of rural medieval England.
