That would be closer to the English usage of the word "adit" round near 
me (Derbyshire, England - lots of mining and lots of rain, so lots of 
adits to let the water out).

To be absolutely clear - an adit isn't just the entrance, it's the 
(nearly horizontal) passage from the entrance into the mine. Wikipedia 
doesn't always "get things right" (especially when it comes to 
distinguishing between different regional Englishes) but it does a 
pretty good job here:

(better than our wiki tag page IMHO)
