yes, this doesn't imply a node, it is using the word "entrance" for the whole "tunnel", similarly like we do in German (Zugang can be both, a punctual feature or a linear feature). Wikipedia also states that exploration is another kind of adit, the German version has an illustration that shows that the adit can also be the whole mine in some cases (at least initially): https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Stolln.jpg Cheers, Martin
