Dovecote, Llantwit Major A 13th century dovecote of the monastic grange at Llantwit Major which belonged to Tewkesbury Abbey. The very complete survival of this structure is in sad contrast to the almost wholly demolished tithe barn which stood immediately to the north and was complete until 1836.
The dovecote is listed as Grade II* by Cadw.
