Description
This ice house, likely built in the mid-19th century, is located on the north bank of a stream, 180 meters west of Sandhoe Hall. It is constructed from rubble with tooled-and-margined dressings and features an internally brick-lined structure. The west side has a square-headed doorway, although the lintel has fallen, and this doorway is set within a porch-like projection. Most of the walls are hidden by earth and vegetation, except on the east side where there is a low square-headed opening just above ground level.
Inside, a passage with a segmental dressed-stone barrel vault leads to two adjacent square chambers, each with segmental vaults and ice wells that taper to a circular plan in the floor.
