A possible supratidal cave which sits at the level of a rock pavement beside the main cliff, about 3-4 m above MHWS. It faces approx SSE by S.

Alternate Names: None recorded.

Notes: Access: Abseil down the cliff or by sea with a rib and grappling hook plus ladder - ie quite tricky.

Probably worth a second view from sea at HW before committing to the above.

Length, VR & alt are visual estimates from afloat and below mid tide.

Photo 1 shows the entrance perched on the level of a rock pavement. Looking approximately WNW. It is not clear from this viewpoint whether it is anything more than a large overhang.
