Summary
This ice-house is buried under a mound in the wood to the northwest of the site of Wroxham Hall. It has a brick barrel-vaulted entrance passage to the south, and the marks of inner and outer doors. The domed brick chamber is in good condition. It appears to be of later date than the hall construction, i.e. after 1781.
