This tunnel entrance was originally made in the medieval period. The tunnel continues several metres into the bank wall below water level of Laughton Pond, its other end is not visible. A channel from the tunnel links to the river flowing through Roche Abbey. It was probably adapted as a landscape feature of Roche Abbey in the scheme carried out between 1774 and 1777 by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown for Lord Scarbrough.
