Tunnel, built 1885-7; opened 1887. Closed, 1963. Now disused. Part creeper- or ivy-covered tuck pointed coursed or snecked rubble stone portal walls with overgrown cut-granite coping to parapets. Single horse shoe-profiled openings with red brick block-and-start surrounds. Sited spanning uprooted railway line with unkempt embankments to railway line.
A tunnel identified as an integral component of the later nineteenth-century civil engineering heritage of south County Wexford on account of the connections with the development of the New Ross Branch of the Dublin, Wicklow and Wexford Railway (DWWR) line opened (1887) by the Dublin, Wicklow and Wexford Railway (DWWR) Company (cf. 15603201; 15703728).
