Raised beach sea cave, southeast of Allt nan Cabar.

Alternate Names: None recorded.

Notes: Port nam Furm translates as Port of the Chair [Scotland's Places/OS Namebook says Port of the Moats (possibly Moat family name?)].

Allt na Cabar has been translated as Stream of the Cables [I suspect this is a transliteration. The original text could be Cables or Cabbers (sic Cabers)].
