Icehouse to the former Garryhinch House, built c.1800, with barrel-vaulted short tunnel accessing main chamber. Double wall construction of red brick. No longer in use.
Located in the middle of what was once part of Garryhinch House demesne, this icehouse served that estate house with ice for use in food preparation over the summer months. It survives relatively intact with the double walled dome, constructed in such a way to provide insulation from the heat of the summer months and to prevent the ice melting.
