Raised sea cave.
"Whitecove Cave lies at the end of the quarry between Jonathan's Cave and Sliding Cave (NGR NT 3465 9734), but it is now largely blocked. Although there are anecdotal accounts of burials having been found in it (Rankin 1988), these are not recorded in the NMRS entry for the cave" [Lelong et al.]
Alternative Names: None recorded.
Notes: Possible typo in Lelong et al. regarding Gasworks Cave vs Jonathan's Cave (?) as there is no quarry between Jonathan's & Sliding caves. The coordinates of [NT 3465 9734] are further E than their Illus 2 that shows it at [NT 3463 9730].
