Markree Castle — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Detached masonry former icehouse, built c. 1820, now a ruin. Brick barrel vaulted entrance, steps to doorway in internal north-west wall opening into large, brick-lined, cylindrical ice pit with domed ceiling. Approached from north-east, built into hillside in a wooded area in Markree Demesne to north-west of Markree Castle.

An icehouse was an important luxury to the nineteenth century landowner in the days prior to refrigeration. The construction of the pit and vaulted entrance to this icehouse are typical for this type of underground insulated structure but nevertheless a rapidly disappearing typology.

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