1 Icehouse.
2 The site was visited, but undergrowth made it inaccessible. It is described as being cut into the side of a low cliff overlooking the river. It is circular in plan, lined with bricks, and has a domed ceiling.
3 The icehouse was examined during a trip to Offchurch Bury in 1981. The icehouse is constructed into a NW-facing slope above the River Leam and the site is wooded. As far as can be remembered, the icehouse is fairly well preserved.
