Details Remains of an icehouse that is depicted on the 2nd edition OS map. Survey of ice-houses by W.A. Bartlam in 2007 revealed that a poured concrete structure remains at this site, near the mouth of the burn, which may be the ice-house depicted on the OS map. Recorded during site visit as part of Moray Community Coastal Zone Assessment Survey (CCZAS) in June 2022. The ice-chute entrance is blocked by an ant-tank cube, the ice house lined with a concrete skin inside and openings rebuilt in concrete. It appears to have been repurposed for World War II use.
