Description
The Fishing Station and Ice-House at Tugnet, dated 1830 (with a datestone re-cut around 1975 to read 1630), features three long, turf-roofed vaulted chambers that rise above a turfed mound. Each chamber is divided internally into two sections. The building has a continuous round-headed gabled elevation on the north and south sides, with square louvred openings on the north and east elevations that serve as ice chutes.
The wide central entrance is located under a shallow brick-coped gable, and the ashlar lintel above is dated and decorated with an incised salmon.
Inside, the wide entrance leads directly into the central chamber, which intercommunicates with the other five chambers. Each chamber is tall, featuring a barrel-vaulted ceiling that is brick-lined, and has a cobbled floor that slopes towards a central drainage sump.
