What is recorded here

Motte castle and icehouse 75m north west of Pool House is a Norman fortification in Shropshire where an eleventh or twelfth-century defensive earthwork still stands beside a later Georgian icehouse. The motte marked a defended settlement, while the icehouse shows the same ground adapting to domestic life as gentry properties sought cooler storage. Together they reveal how one place changed from military warning to household convenience, preserving both functions in the same small Shropshire landscape.

The National Heritage List for England records Motte castle and icehouse 75m north west of Pool House as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
