Description
Ice house. Probably early C19. Roughly coursed limestone rubble. Segmental headed entrance to tunnel, blocked at far end. Covered by an earth mound, probably originally circular in plan, now truncated on south side with rubble revetment wall. The mound, scheduled as a castle motte (A. M. County No. 285), was probably constructed simply to cover the ice house <1>
Scheduling revised in 1995, and interpretation as a motte castle reaffirmed. Relevant part of scheduling description: ->
-> A stone lined ice house 1.3m high and 6m deep has been built into the NNW side of the mound. The ice house .. is included in the scheduling. <2>
Structure used as a donkey shelter in 1980s. ->
-> Entrance facade has been restored and doors added. An internal concrete floor has been laid, consequently there is no indication of the depth of the ice shaft which may be at the far end. Gazetteer entry includes a post-restoration exterior photograph of entrance. [Photographs on library link]. <3>
