What is recorded here
Dunbar Castle Park holds a buried nineteenth-century icehouse, a stone throat swallowing summer heat to preserve food through winter. The structure reveals itself only through grass and memory now, yet it implies a household that trusted stone more than fortune. Its accuracy is recorded to the nearest metre, but its interior remains closed to assumption. What is known is that the place existed, was built for control over decay, and still resists forgetting.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Dunbar, Castle Park as Icehouse (19th Century). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
