Description
Circular-domed partly subterranean former icehouse, built c.1780, with tunnel extending to north. No longer in use. Random limestone vaulted dome visible from exterior with random coursed entrance elevation. Segmental-headed door opening leads to rendered porch giving access to brick-lined tunnel and ice dome.
Appraisal
The icehouse to Monasteroris House survives and is located adjacent to the extensive walled gardens. It has a double wall, the outer wall of which, is constructed of limestone while the inner wall is lined in red brick. Unlike most other icehouses, this icehouse has an entrance porch leading to the dome.
