Ice House 3/124 II
Ice house. Circa 1758 with C19 ante-chamber. Mainly of local brick, the ante- chamber coursed sandstone. Main chamber, double-skin wall with drain (containing, ceramic pipe) and opening at top. Entrance passage badly damaged, barrel vault (largely destroyed), also all double-skin, with steps up to elliptically-arched entrance into chamber proper. The ante-chamber abuts the entrance passage at an angle of almost 9O° and is clearly later. It appears to have been used for food preparation prior to storage in the ice house and is an unusual feature. Barrel- vaulted with preparation benches to each side, a separate drain and 2 wall recesses with dressed surrounds.
