Description
MATERIALS: ashlar Bath stone portal and copings. Squared and coursed Pennant stone retaining walls and tunnel lining. Small engineering brick patches.
DESCRIPTION: depressed, four-centred arch, with a span of 30ft (9m), consisting of ashlar voussoirs and a recessed roll and then hollow moulding. The mouldings continue to the ground without visible stops. Two small sections of engineering brick patching. The arch is set within a giant square hoodmould with stops, which frames chamfered spandrel panels. This ashlar portal is itself set within a coursed Pennant stone retaining wall extending above and to the sides. This is topped by a plain coping course which rises gently to a peak over the centre.
The tunnel is not very deep, and buildings and gardens of the village of Saltford crowd the low hill above the portal.
