Two circular stone dovecotes surround the tower. One is fitted with a flight opening framed by glazed mallons, the whole crowned with latticework and covered with a conical slate roof.

Two circular stone dovecotes surround the tower. One is fitted with a flight opening framed by glazed mallons, the whole crowned with latticework and covered with a conical slate roof. The concentration of these stone buildings, only a hundred metres apart, testifies to the importance of agricultural activity on this estate since the 19th century.
