Description
This is probably the site scheduled as Round barrow S of Linley Hall. Unfortunately, the scheduling maplet rings what appears to be a ring plantation. As a result there is a duplication with SA 1227. PAW comment May 1991.
Linley Mound, motte and tumulus <1a>
An icehouse <1b>
Partly removed to make room for the erection of a summer house. Believed by the bailiff to be an ice-house. OS FI 1973 <1>
Large barrow at Linley Hall scooped out to form an ice house. No record of contents <2>
Evaluated for MPP in 1990-1, as one of less than 10 Ice Houses <3>
Situated 275m SE of the Hall, the ice house stands near the lake, the source of ice. The domed structure c.1853 is of brick and extends 1.8m below ground. Now used as a changing room for bathers, the ice house has been given a 'temple' frontage after the removal of the W facing passage (1981/3). <4>
Visited during a condition survey by the English Heritage Field Monument Warden, in 1999. Condition recorded as generally satisfactory. <5>
It is possible after all that the mound into which the ice house was built could have been a motte: LiDAR imagery shows faint earthworks to the SE & S of the mound that might be traces of a bailey. Linley was part of the Bishop of Hereford's manor of Lydbury North at Domesday. <6>
