XY cave

Loch Eck, Benmore, Coir an t-Sith, Argyllshire.

Cave x and cave Y are the same fissure. Cave x being the first half of it usually done by groups from the local outdoor centre. At the exit of cave X it is possible to continue along the fissure dropping down 2 small pitches before ascending up out of a hole in the roof or squeezing out of a rift known as Marcus's squeeze.  Neil McLaren

XY is also a separate cave and from memory is at about the same altitude and a short distance to the south of Paper Cave. We visited it during our 1979 visit and, again from memory it had multiple levels of narrow passages within a vertical fissure and several entrances. We didn't have the time or the inclination to survey it. Ivan Young

Alternative Names: None recorded.

Notes: Location is a guess, based on Ivan Young's "short distance to the south of Paper Cave". Updates very welcome.
