Full Description
Icehouse?
Building, described by D. Jones (KLM) as 'like a brick Nissen hut with buttresses'.
Called an icehouse by farmer's wife who lived there in about 1940. If so, sounds like the entrance tunnel of a demolished icehouse.
E. Rose (NAU), 26 November 1980.
March 2019. Breckland National Mapping Programme.
A probable post medieval ice house is seen as a structure on aerial photographs and as an earthwork on lidar visualisations (S1-S2). The structure can be seen particularly well on the 2005 google earth image and the surrounding earthwork mound can be seen well on the 2017 lidar data. This feature has not been mapped as it falls outside of the scope of this survey.
J.Powell (Norfolk Historic Environment Service), 7th March 2019.
