Full Description
Two icehouses of late-18th to early-19th Century date, in use into the 20th Century. They are semi-subterranean, built into the coastal slope, and almost completely covered by earthen mounds. The smaller of the two has a masonry barrel vault, with entrances at both ends, although the original doorways appear to have been robbed out and repaired in brick. The larger is brick-vaulted, with the north gable constructed of granite rubble, and contains the ruin of an antechamber. It was loaded through a hole in the roof.
Nearby is the ruin of a fisherman’s cottage.
