A supratidal rift seacave. It has a pile of stones, steep on the outside, about 1.4 m high and 2.9 m inside. From there, it is very green and damp for 8 m or so, dripping from above. It then dries up a lot and snakes a bit with some crawls until 32.2 m when it gets flat out low for the final 3.3 m. There are a lot of graffiti there, including some from the late 19th century. As well as the more common common silver sparkles, this cave has golden ones.
Alternate Names: None recorded.
Notes: Access: either as described in the Northern Scot article, or round the headland at the E end of the beach which leads to the lighthouse, at about half tide or lower.
