This single track tunnel is formed by an arch of brick with the portal facing in stone. The west portion of the tunnel consists of a block long ramp with sidewalls constructed of stone laid up in a random ashlar pattern topped with random bond brick walls above the surrounding road level.
  • Unprocessed Field note material exists for this structure: FN-2
  • Survey number: HAER VA-18
