    It made me think of medieval times, whatever it actually is! :-)

    It could be any age from medieval to 20th Century. It's not that large, about 3m x 2m x 3m.

    Holding cell is more the right size, but that's not it. It stands on agricultural land, near a cottage but at the edge of a field.

    Lorna has it: it's a dovecot. Here they are known as doocots, and this kind is a lectern doocot. There's a picture of an intact one on the wikipedia dovecot page.
