Development History
July 2008: External inspection finds the doocot is showing signs of decay, mostly evident in the poor conditon of the roof; missing slates, holes in roof and the loss of most of the exterior render. There appears to be some old damage to the stonework.
22 October 2012: External inspection finds no significant change from the previous site visit.
25 July 2016: External inspection finds the building remains in much the same condition as seen previously. Security fencing has been erected around the doocot.
