Bruton Dovecote is a historic stone tower located in Bruton, Somerset, originally erected in the 16th century as a watchtower. This Grade II listed building was later converted into a dovecote in the 18th century, presumably by the Berkeley family, showcasing its rich architectural and historical significance.

The structure features a three-story design with remnants of original windows and doorways that reflect alterations made over the centuries. As a Scheduled Monument, it highlights the region's medieval architecture and serves as a reminder of its past uses, including habitation and agricultural practices.
