In bogland on the S side of Kylemore valley, circa 200m to the SE of ‘Kylemore Farm Yard’. Only the roofless shell of this rectangular icehouse (NE-SW c. 10m; NW-SE c. 5m), which appears to be half buried in the bog, survives. The NW wall is higher than the SE one indicating that the roof was steeply sloped. The doorway is in the NE wall. A line of beam slots running along the external face of the NW wall suggests a lean-to building was formerly built against it. When inspected the building was heavily overgrown with rhododendrons making access difficult.
