Description:
Culvert (or similar) formed of sandstone blocks and slabs found in the back garden of No. 10 in 2006 when the house owner was excavating a pond. The tunnel measuring 2 feet wide by 2 feet high and the top of the structure was around 4 feet below ground level. Probably industrial related as the site lies only 44m south of Henry Pit (HER 4181). The feature was covered over before it could be recorded.
