CLUE I'm a translator and I translate all sorts of texts from English into Hungarian and vice versa. But there are simple words of everyday life that I have never heard or read although I've been learning English for more than 30 years now. Now one of those words is dovecote (or dovecot). |

Well, it doesn't look like one, that's for sure. Even from that distance. Or rather, it looks like a dovecote as much as a bus stop can look like the Rialto Bridge in Venice, if you catch my drift. And what's that chute-like, tube-like thing wrapped around it anyway? And Googling the word (in both languages) doesn't do any good. What else is new.  To find this without a clue you have to be extremely lucky, a real genius (as in Einstein genius), completely crazy, or a cheat of some kind.  Scrap genius. This has nothing to do with genius! Let's say: looking at lists of things for hours... right?  I think I'm going to watch a movie now. At least it will go somewhere. Most movies do. |

ANSWER This is the Wonderful Barn between Leixlip and Celbridge, County Kildare, Ireland.
There are different theories that it was used as a dovecote or simply as a barn.
