The motte castle and icehouse 75 metres north-west of Pool House is a Norman fortification situated in Shropshire. The site comprises an earthwork motte with an associated icehouse, representing two distinct periods of use and development. The motte itself is characteristic of Norman defensive architecture dating from the eleventh or twelfth century, whilst the icehouse represents a later addition, likely from the Georgian period when such structures became fashionable among gentry properties. The survival of both features at this location provides evidence of the site's significance as a defended settlement in the medieval period and its later adaptation for domestic purposes.
