The engineer was William Bennet. Coursed, squared rubble with freestone dressings. Semi-circular arch with keystone. Band. Pilaster strips to either side and high coped parapet. The interior of the tunnel is masonry lined.
The southern (Midford-Radstock) branch of the Coal Canal was completed in 1798 but was abandoned in 1815 when a tramway was laid along it.
