Icehouses, dating to the early 19th century. A pair of ice houses for storing ice to preserve salmon for shipment lie under earthen mounds overlooking Findhorn Bay, known as Dustil, for insulation. The Eastern icehouse, now converted into a museum, consists of a suite of three barrel-vaulted chambers aligned North-West to South-East, the inner (or North-Western) one being larger than the other two, and set at right angles to them. All three chambers have stone walls and brick vaults, with rectangular vents set into them. The North-West chamber also has a floor made of large stone flags. The first vault was originally entered from the South-East through a small barrel-vaulted lobby, the door to which has now been partly blocked and made into a window, and the complex is now entered from the East, through a larger stone-built vestibule. There is a corrugated-iron clad, gable roof. A second taller icehouse is built into the South-West edge of the same mound. It consists of a single vaulted chamber, which has been radically altered by the introduction of a large concrete lintelled entrance through its South side. This second icehouse is not included in the scheduling and is in commercial use. A pillbox stands on the North-West edge of the summit of the mound (NJ06SW0049).
