Description

A paired tunnel of dressed semi-circular arches with a 1m thick pier between. Coursed squared stone revetment into the embankment on either side and above the arches. Same treatment on both faces. The smaller (eastern) tunnel was for a watercourse, the larger for a tramway, but it is uncertain whether they pre-existed the canal.

The tunnels are lined and paved with stone. Headroom about 2m in centre of arch.
