## Abstract

We analyse an array of linearly extended monodomain dipoles forming square and kagome lattices. We find that its phase diagram contains two (distinct) finite-entropy kagome ice regimes - one disordered, one algebraic - as well as a low-temperature ordered phase. In the limit of the islands almost touching, we find a staircase of corresponding entropy plateaux, which is analytically captured by a theory based on magnetic charges. For the case of a modified square ice array, we show that the charges (monopoles') are excitations experiencing two distinct Coulomb interactions: a magnetic three-dimensional' one as well as a logarithmic `two dimensional' one of entropic origin.
