Remains of dovecote is a scheduled ancient monument located in Suffolk, England. The structure dates from the medieval period and represents a type of agricultural building that would have been associated with a manorial holding, serving the practical purpose of housing pigeons for food and their valuable droppings, which were used as fertiliser. The surviving remains indicate the scale and construction methods typical of medieval dovecotes in East Anglia, though the precise details of its original form and exact construction date require reference to the official record maintained under its NHLE designation 1005964. Such structures were common features of the medieval Norfolk and Suffolk landscape, reflecting the agricultural economy and social hierarchy of the period.
