History

Late C18 or early C19 ice-house, built to serve neighbouring Plas Teg. It probably relates to work carried out at the house either by Lady Jane Dacre at the end of the C18, or by Arthur Blayney Trevor-Roper, who is known to have made substantial alterations and improvements to the house in the mid 1820s.

Exterior

Stone-reveted, grass-roofed embankment of irregular shape bounded by the main road on the SW. The walls are of local rubble construction with rough-dressed capping. That on the NE side rises to a central entrance with pointed brick arch; brick-lined, vaulted passage within the embankment, with stone-lined oculus to an inner brick wall at the end. This gives access to the vaulted and brick-lined ice house proper.

Reasons for Listing
