Abstract: |
The dovecote, which belonged to the former Leeds Priory, remained standing as a roofless ruin that had seriously deteriorated in the last 25 years. It formed part of the SAM of the Priory and its condition had prompted a programme of emergency stabilisation and consolidation works. The interior of the dovecote contained important structural remains of the collapsed building, particularly its roof timbers, and the stabilisation works offered the opportunity of archaeologically recording and, where appropriate, retaining those remains. The principal finding of the work was to confirm that the basic form of the roof would have been as that shown in a survey and article written in 1973 by J Caiger. [Au(abr)] |
