Ice House. Late C18 or early C19. Brick. Externally a domed structure with short
vaulted entrance tunnel. Inside, a deep well below ground level makes the whole
an egg shaped structure of 15' diameter. Double-brick construction, the exterior
of the dome lined with rat-trap bond brickwork. Inner end of entrance tunnel rebated
to take a doorway with a high step. Small aperture at crown of dome, presumably
for putting ice into the pit.
