This icehouse is listed Grade II. It is probably of early 19th century date, built for the Thornhill family of Stanton Hall. It has a coursed square gritstone façade with a short tunnel, now collapsed to the top, into the hill, at the end of which is a large square underground chamber with a barrel vault. (3)
