Early OS maps show this as a cave but later maps show a natural arch. Aerial photographs suggest the cave or arch is in a narrow slot midway along a narrow geo between high (40 ft) rocky cliffs with the possibility of a tunnel through the rock parallel to the main channel. A surface feature may possibly be a small gloup or roof collapse midway along the lower tunnel.

Alternate Names: None recorded.
