DOVECOTE IN PARCIAU PARK

Disgrifiadau

RCAHMW colour oblique aerial photograph of Llanellgradd Dovecote taken on 26/05/2004 by Toby Driver.

The early seventeenth century dovecote located in the great park of Parciau, is an ornate tall square plan building of two storeys divided by a bold projecting string course. The walls are of roughly coursed stone rubble with finer dressings. Each wall rises to a gable topped by a finial and the roof is topped by an ornate classical cupola, again cross gabled with finials.

The columbarium is in the upper storey, reached by a stair in the thickness of the walls. It has a corbelled vault lit by the cupola.

The 2nd/3rd editions of the OS County series mapping (Anglesey VIII.13 1900, 1920) show the dovecote standing at the northern end of a regular oval scarped enclosure, about 35m north-south by 20m. The adjoining wood was Pigeon House Covert in 1920.
