Heritage listing
Details STANWIX RURAL RICKERBY NY 45 NW 5/92 Tower, north of Eden School II Possibly dovecote. Circa 1835, for George Head Head, whose house is now Eden School. Walls of mixed red and yellow dressed sandstone, with slated octagonal pointed roof. 3 storeys of octagonal shape: very late date for a dovecote and as the owner liked tower follies, it is possible that this may be an earlier building moved from another location. Lancet openings, one to each face and storey with chamfered surrounds and plain surround to entrance: string course to each storey: roof timbers exposed and slates almost gone: no internal features.
