Ice House Hill Park — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Subterranean stone icehouse, built c. 1780, now disused. Vaulted chambers to north and south linked via passageway with flight of cut limestone entrance steps to east. Barrel-vaulted lower (south) chamber, partially damaged with traces of brick floor vaulting remaining. Rendered limestone rubble and brick masonry. Round-headed openings to south chamber, rubble masonry voussoirs; square-headed opening to north chamber, cut limestone lintel. Set into hillside in what is now a public park, formerly part of the demesne attached to Dundalk House.

Originally part of the Dundalk House demesne, seat of the Earl of Clanbrassil who was responsible for laying out much of the town of Dundalk in the eighteenth-century, this is a structure of historic interest to the town. Fine vaulting and masonry construction are of considerable architectural and technical interest and the icehouse forms a landmark within the extensive public park which now surrounds it.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
