Description
The Horn Hill Tunnel, North Entrance, is a tunnel entrance dated 1832. Above the entrance is a tablet with the inscription: "The public are Permanently indebted for the eretion of this TUNNEL to the zealous exertions of GILES RUSSEL of Beaminster, GENT. Begun August 1831, finished June 1832. M. Lane, Civil Engineer." The structure features ashlar stone walls that flank the arch, which has rusticated jambs, voussoirs, and a dropped keystone. There are flat imposts and a round string course above the tablet. The parapets and return walls are stone-coped, curving down to square terminal capped piers. The tunnel itself is 345 feet long.
