My dictionary suggests both are valid:

  Dovecot \Dove"cot`\, Dovecote \Dove"cote`\, n.
     A small house or box, raised to a considerable height above
     the ground, and having compartments, in which domestic
     pigeons breed; a dove house.
     [1913 Webster]
  
           Like an eagle in a dovecote, I
           Fluttered your Volscians in Corioli.     --Shak.
     [1913 Webster]
