Description
-
A main feature of the photograph is a circular stone-like structure, which is likely to be a dovecote – a circular feature appears in the map of Belmount Demesne (Mitchell, J., ‘Queen’s College Galway, 1845-1858’). A wall is attached to the circular structure. An assortment of buildings, comprising one with a galvanised roof; a Nissen hut, a wooden shed and pre-fabricated shed – used by personnel of the Buildings Office are also visible. A probable Buildings Office employee alongside a small motorised transportation truck can also be seen.
Its location is at the North West of the University of Galway Library façade and North East of the Arts Millenium Building, and is now a parking area.
A dovecote is a structure intended to house pigeons or doves (https://slate.com/human-interest/2015).
