Arniston ice house is shown on the 1st edition OS map as a "well" which suggests that this may have been its original purpose and that it has since been converted to an ice house. Its shallow nature, being only slightly over a metre high suggests that it may have been filled in, as ice houses are usually over four metres deep in order to keep the ice cool below ground level.
