Kinwarton Dovecote, Medieval dovecote in Kinwarton, England.
The circular stone structure features metre-thick walls containing 580 nesting holes arranged in a precise pattern throughout the interior surfaces.
Built around 1350, this dovecote belonged to a moated grange connected to the Abbey of Evesham, serving as a source of fresh meat.
The structure represents the medieval privilege of dovecote ownership, which was exclusively granted to Lords of the Manor in England.
Visitors can reach the dovecote by following a grass path from the farm track, with National Trust parking available near the entrance.
The dovecote maintains its original rotating wooden ladder system, known as a potence, which allows access to all nesting spaces.
