Icehouse 260m north west of Castle Hill is a nineteenth-century ice storage structure located in Devon. Ice houses of this type were built to preserve ice harvested during winter months for use throughout the year in food storage and domestic cooling, representing an important technological adaptation in the pre-refrigeration era. The monument survives as a physical testament to the practical infrastructure supporting country estates during the Georgian and Victorian periods. Such structures typically featured underground or partially buried chambers with thick walls and insulation, designed to maintain sub-zero temperatures through the warmer months.
