This is understood to be a large underground tunnel close to Kelston Church but little is knkown of the tunnel.

Alternative Names: None recorded.

Notes: The 1744 map of Kelston Estate shows a reservoir. It is understood that this was filled from springs higher up the hillside. The reservoir then "supplied the fountain and water closet located near the mansion via a large underground tunnel which passes by the north side of the church, reappears west of the tithe barn and flows into a series of fish ponds."
