Dovecote

Adare, County Limerick, Ireland  2023

A dovecote is a circular building designed to house doves and pigeons.  This one was built by the Trinitarian Monks, probably in the mid 14th Century and was rebuilt in 1850.  There are holes in the roof for the doves to leave and enter and served as a source of food for the monks.
