Icehouse, Danestone House

The icehouse at Danestone House is an 18th-century structure, believed to have been built in 1726. It features a granite rubble interior and a brick domed roof, constructed into a hillside mound. There are trap doors at the top of the mound for loading ice, although the doors covering the outlet passage have been lost. A tunnel passage leads to an entrance below at ground level to the south, which has a granite ashlar entrance with a pointed arched door and a granite band course. The icehouse is likely a full ovoid in section but has been infilled to ground and entrance level over time. The circular plan measures 9 feet in diameter.
