Description
Barrel-vaulted service tunnel, built c.1800. Constructed of limestone rubble. Located in grounds of Drumcree House demesne and originally linked main house to farmyard to northwest.
Appraisal
A well-built tunnel in unusually good condition. This functional structure was built as a service tunnel, linking the farmyard to the north-west with the main house to the south-east. It is of social importance as a reminder of the way of life in an country demesne during the late eighteenth/early nineteenth-century. It forms part of an interesting group of demesne-related structures with Drumcree House (15405006) and ancillary structures.
