Sea cave south of Rudha na Cloiche Baine (Point of the White Rock), NE of Druim Chaidhsiadair.
Alternative Names: None recorded.
Notes: The rock at the point may either be naturally white or covered in bird droppings.
Caithascadair appears to have been a small group of buildings (probably a farmstead) between Druim Chaithascadair (the hill of Caithascadair) and Amhuinn Chaidhsiadair (the stream of Caithascadair).
Very speculative placename Edgar's Bog (Caith - drain, se - not, adair - Edgar). Adair can also be translated as Oak Tree or Oak Tree Ford giving 'the undrained land by the Oak Tree'.
