Appraisal
A tunnel identified as an integral component of the later nineteenth-century civil engineering heritage of Enniscorthy on account of the connections with the extension of the Dublin, Wicklow and Wexford Railway (DWWR) line opened (1872) by the Dublin, Wicklow and Wexford Railway (DWWR) Company (cf. 15702905; 15703728).
