South portal to the Tavistock Canal tunnel. Dated 1803. The Tavistock Canal
was built between 1803 and 1817 by John Taylor. Coursed granite rubble with
stone datestone. The Tavistock Canal connected the Tavy to the Tamar over a distance of 4½ miles. For nearly 2 miles it runs in a tunnel under Morwell
Down; from the south portal it is connected to Morwellham by an incline
plane with a drop of 237 feet. Round headed archway with voussoirs and
keystone, datestone above. Flanking walls.
