A natural arch passing through a small headland. The passage has open water at both ends and seems to be formed by the loss of eroded material between parallel but sloping fissures about 3-4 m apart creating a rectangular slot almost 10 m high aligned with the incline of the rock. A third fissure at an angle to the two main cracks may have contributed to the break-up of the eroded section. It is not clear how deep the slot continues below water level.
Alternative Names: None recorded.
