What is recorded here

Arched masonry span pedestrian underpass built, c.1840, beneath public road traversing Charleville Castle demesne. Random rubble construction with semicircular arch profile. Dressed limestone voussoirs. Wrought-iron gates to south end.
This finely executed tunnel links those lands of Charleville Castle demesne that are divided by a public road. Like many of the Charleville structures, its tooled stone construction stands as testament to the highly skilled craftsmanship utilised in demesne architecture. Executed as part of the improvements carried out within the demesne by the 3rd Earl of Charleville who inherited the estate in 1851 and died in 1859.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
