Description
The icehouse is set into a garden wall. The entrance is of limestone rubble as is the passage which is 4.5m long and leads into a circular brick chamber, 3.4m in diameter and 2.6m high above ground level. The base is filled in but an angular change to walls indicates a cone-shaped base.
