Pigeon's pad (4)
I believe the answer is:
cote
'pigeon's pad' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for cote that I've seen before include "Shelter for pigeons" , "Small shelter, for doves say" , "Home for doves" , "Place for doves" , "Pigeon shelter" .)
