A culvert is a tunnel carrying a creek under a railroad bed. This is one of several culverts located beneath the Orange and Alexandria Railroad bed within present-day Lake Accotink Park. The Conferderates hid in this culvert prior to damaging the Orange and Alexandria Railroad. The O&A railroad crossed over this culvert. The incribed brick artifact displayed in the Visitors Center was reported to have been removed from this Culvert.
