A barely intertidal rift cave facing 145 (SE by S) at the end of a 35m long geo. The rift leans about 12 degrees NE low down, increasing to over 40 degrees higher up. The tunnel is wide (6.7 m at entrance) and tall for the first 30 m. It then gets smaller, ending as a narrowing slot. Its beach slopes up steadily at about 8.5 degrees.
