Cadw's description
Location
Located to the rear of the north stable block of Emral Hall and partly submerged in the ground. The stable block is reached by a private drive from Emral Hall Lodge.
History
Built as an ice-house for Emral Hall (1724-27) designed by Richard Trubshaw and Joseph Evans and may be contemporary with the surviving stable blocks which were built 1730-35. Emral Hall was demolished in 1936.
Exterior
C18 ice-house of red-brick construction. Circular in plan with domed ceiling and tapering section. Later retaining walls to entrance with modern flat roof.
Reason for designation
Listed as a scarce intact example of an C18 ice-house, and for group value with the stable blocks at Emral Hall.
