Kinwarton Dovecot is a medieval structure located in Warwickshire, England, and represents a fine example of a purpose-built dovecot from the fourteenth century. The building is constructed in stone and features the characteristic circular or polygonal form typical of dovecots of this period, with internal nesting boxes arranged to maximise the number of birds that could be housed. As a scheduled ancient monument, it testifies to the importance of dovekeeping in medieval agriculture, when pigeons were a valuable source of meat and their droppings provided valuable fertiliser. The dovecot's survival in reasonable condition makes it a significant surviving example of medieval agricultural architecture in the region.
