Ice House To North-East Of Werrington Park (House)

The ice house, dating from the late 18th century or early 19th century, is located to the north-east of Werrington Park. It is constructed of locally manufactured brick, likely sourced from the brick works at Dutson, and the bricks are laid in header bond. The structure is built into the slope of a bank and features a circular section, with an entrance through a tunnel facing south, which is covered by an artificial mound.

The brick portal has a segmental arch doorway that includes a 20th-century plank door. It is possible that the passage has been extended to the south, and there may have originally been a second door near the entrance to the pit. An unusually placed top light above the passage, near the pit, likely served for both loading and lighting purposes.

The well of the ice house is cylindrical rather than egg-shaped, with a domed top made entirely of brick, and there is no evidence of a typical central eye hole. The bottom of the pit has collected debris, making it unclear if there are remnants of drains or a water trap. Additionally, there are holes for floor joists located about halfway up the interior walls. This ice house is situated approximately 400 metres from the lake and is noted for its quality construction, representing a good example of its type.
