Overview

History & significance

Tithe Barn, Dovecot & Remains of Other Buildings is a medieval grange complex located in Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw reference GM143. The site comprises a tithe barn, dovecot, and fragmentary remains of associated agricultural structures that date to the medieval period and reflect the estate management practices of a substantial landholding. The tithe barn represents investment in agricultural infrastructure for the collection and storage of grain and other produce owed as ecclesiastical or manorial dues, whilst the dovecot provided both a source of protein through bird husbandry and a symbol of seigneurial status. Together these structures exemplify the hierarchical organisation of medieval rural economy and the resources devoted to managing surplus production on grange properties.
