Ice House in Auckland Castle Park

Ice house, late C18 with a renewed C19 entrance tunnel. DESCRIPTION: not inspected, information from other sources. Situated in the north-west portion of the park, east of the River Gaunless and on the south bank of the Coundon Burn. The ice house is visible as a spread mound of earth about 10m by 7m and up to 1.5m high. It has an arched, yellow brick entrance tunnel on the north side with a round rowlock arched entrance, now blocked. The low height of the entrance suggests there are steps leading down into the structure, and the interior is reported to be brick-lined.
