Brick-lined icehouse, built c. 1820, now disused, partly under grassy mound. Rendered entrance wall with brick relieving arch. Square-headed entrance with metal door.
Purposely buried under sod and vegetation for insulation, this icehouse was used for food storage for Kilcooly Abbey. The brick lining and the underground water tank behind it would have contributed to the refrigerating qualities. An interesting reminder of the ingenuity and labour required in food preservation before the advent of electrical appliances.
