(Location cited as NJ 912 056 and name as 'Conoco site'). This brick-lined tunnel was discovered in 1982 during site-clearing operations prior to redevelopement work at Rubislaw quarry. It measures 10 ft (3m) high, leads straight towards the quarry-face, was blocked off at the entrance, and may have formed some form of access road.
