A supratidal seacave with a lump of rock with a small arch through it just in front on the W side.

Trapezoidal entrance, lower (2.5 m) on left and 6.3 m wide and facing N by W. Goes more or less parallel for 12m, then a further 4.3 in a narrowing rift on the right - lots of bottle and other rubbish. Walls appear blackened as if by soot, but I did not test this in any way. Quite a lot of graffiti. Roddoch Bow nearby had no graffiti on 4 March 22, but is much less obvious.

Alternative Names: None recorded.

Notes: Access: From Cummingston Seaview Rd carpark, go down to the old railway line (tarmac'd), cross it and follow round to the left.

Alt is ACD and is an estimate.
