Ruin

A single tunnel extending into hillside. Entrance is largely silted up but it opens up a bit and extends sloping up into hillside, could be more entrances around. North-West of the PB around 30 meters or so. It is along a ravine next to a pipe line running down from the edge of the covered reservoir area toward HKU buildings.

Good find - that's the first tunnel I've heard of in that area.

I wonder if it was dug with the intention of reaching the pillbox? Several pillboxes and AOPs have Japanese tunnels leading away from them.

Me too... and I certainly suspected so. It does bend up the slope in that direction. I'm sure there are a few other entrances or other tunnels near by
