An adit.
In North America, the horizontal or sloped entrance to a mine is called a "Portal".
Portal more specifically refers to the portion of the shaft visible from the outside of the mine.
In some areas, the Portal portion of a horizontal shaft is called the "Drift Mouth" or "Drift Portal" as this shaft leads into a "Drift Mine".
With a vertical shaft, that portion would be called a "Collar".
