A small cave/tunnel facing N. It cuts through horizontal layers of granite tor in a straight line. The line of this cave meets a corridor from the WSW which continues through to the E side of the tor, but this , although now roofed, is too narrow to fit an adult into and so does not qualify as another cave.
NGR is for the N entrance.
Alternative Names: None recorded.
Notes: Access: shortest is from Back o' Bennachie car park (parking meters which take a card when working) for which the turn is on the W side of Oyne. Go up to the left (E) side of Little Oxencraig and follow signs 'Mither Tap quarry trail' to Craigshannoch.
