Description

The Ice House is a late 18th century structure located on the south side of Main Street in Uffington. It is built from red brick and has a circular plan. The entrance features steps that lead down to a doorway topped with an ashlar lintel, which is inscribed with "WB" on the reverse side. Inside, the entrance passage has a brick barrel vault, with semi-circular headed niches on either side. The main circular chamber is sunk and has a very shallow brick vault.

Local climate

The Ice House sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 720 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 83% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 82% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 31 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 60% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
