Tunnel portal, Poundbury Hill Fort

Looking North West along the railway line that connects Weymouth to Yeovil Pen Mill from Poundbury Road. The tunnel is very shallow and only about 840ft long. In other similar situations along the line it would have been a cutting but I wonder if a tunnel was built here to avoid damage to Poundbury Hill Fort which is very close to this tunnel portal?
