'Is it just a long fridge?'
Yes, they were known as cold stores and retriets. There are several of them at the castle, they are extremely cool even in the height of summer, an ideal place to store meat and vedge. During Celtic times there were thousands of them but over time they have fallen into ruin. Some are still around today and more have been made in the 2000 years since the time of the Celts. They rarely extend longer than about 10 metres.
