Development History
November 2007: External inspection reveals the structure to be roofless shell with what appears to be major structural cracks. The west gable of the doocot has partially collapsed and there is a tree growing within the walls. Urgent action is required to consolidate and protect the structure.
31 July 2014: Limited external inspection possible. From what could be viewed, the doocot remains in much the same condition as seen previously.
13 June 2019: Site visit attempted but building not accessible.
