An early 18th century icehouse situated by the moat at Scotney Castle (NGR: TQ 689 353). Built in 1834 this is one of the few icehouses which has retained the tradition of being thatched. It is built into the bank of the moat. Entry is through a short passage built of wood and thatched. The roof is thatched and is conical in shape and the lower rim virtually rests on the ground. The conical brick ice chamber extends 3.65 metres below ground and is 4.8 metres in diameter at the top and 2.1 metres in diameter at the bottom. At the base of the chamber is a sump which runs into a U-shaped drain which takes the meltwater into the moat. The ice was probably collected from the overflow weir at the east end of the moat. Originally the icehouse is thought to have been thatched with heather, but now it is thatched with straw. (3)
