Going underground

Whilst out walking near Win Green Hill we stumbled across this strange feature, a tunnel or something.  Whatever it is it's not shown on the OS map, although you'd think it would be. The façade is newer than the tunnel itself, the internal brickwork is clearly older, the environs are dense thicket and scrub, though a path has recently been cut through and the area directly outside the entrance is cleared. So it's looked after, used maybe? The entrance is blocked with a substantial steel door, which has two horizontal slots in it, which I'd imagine are to allow bats access.  There's also an older iron barred door about 5m in, beyond this door the the tunnel is prefabricated concrete in a sort of 70's scifi base style. The tunnel floor has regularly spaced blocks along one side, the type which might have carried pipes or electrical conduit, and is strewn with, what looks like, chalk debris. The strangest thing is there is a light, or light coming from somewhere deep into the tunnel.  Quite the mystery.
