Description
The ice house, located approximately 150 meters southwest of Cirencester Park Mansion, dates back to the 18th century. It is constructed from vermiculated and rock-faced limestone, featuring limestone ashlar dressings around the entrance. The structure includes a stone and brick tunnel and a brick ice well.
The entrance, facing north-northeast, has a round-headed arch made of rock-faced stone, supported by ashlar impost blocks on squat ashlar piers. The screen wall is made of vermiculated stone with an ashlar plinth that curves outward on both sides, ending in squat ashlar piers with coping. The wall curves upward at the center to meet a coped parapet above the entrance arch. A 20th-century plank door is set within the opening, which has a segmental-arched head and is deeply recessed, lined with rock-faced stone behind the entrance arch.
Inside, there is a vaulted tunnel leading to an ice well that is approximately 3 meters in diameter and 6 meters deep, shaped in an ovoid form with brickwork laid in Flemish bond.
