Full description

July 2003.
A slight mound with some half-buried iron railings (curved segments which once bolted together).
(S1) suggests this is the icehouse (NHER 12170), as an old man in the village remembered seeing ice put there as a boy. Backfilled during World War Two.
But is it just a fancy tree-guard?
D. Gurney (NLA), 29 July 2003.
