The remains of this icehouse are situated in dense undergrowth at the top of a steep bank about 14m S of the former main drive to Craigiehall House ( .00), 30m N of the row of houses in Riverside Road and 320m ENE of the present security gate to the 2nd Division Headquarters.
All that survives of the icehouse is the brick built circular upper section with an entrance on the NE side. It has a diameter of about 2m overall. The icehouse has been filled in for safety reasons.
The ice house is depicted on early editions of the OS 25-inch map, (Edinburghshire, sheet, various dates), as a small recatngular structure on the S side of the main drive.
