Title: Case Name: Dovecote at Avebury Manor - descheduling

Summary: Advice Report Source ID: SWI28797

Description: The national importance of the dovecot was recognised when it was scheduled in 1959 (National Ref: 1005656, WI 248). However, the criteria for scheduling were no longer met when reviewed in 2020. Subsequently it was de-scheduled and the structure more appropriately managed as a listed building.
