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

  4. a jail or holding cell of some sort? (rhonda in TX on WTM boards)

  5. 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.

  6. 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.
