May 2012. Field visit.
The icehouse is in good condition, with the entrance vault and roof more or less intact. The covering soil mound survives, as does a mound to the west (presumably material upcast during excavation for the chamber). The chamber is open, with some rubbish in the base (with the top of the rubbish below ground level).
