Sea cave tunnel.
Sizeable cave network running roughly parallel to the general shore line. Two entrances of differing size in the N cliff of Geodh' Dubh are connected to a tall, large arched entrance at the head of a separate geo to the N . The cave mouths / interior is permanently flooded & largely cavernous throughout.
Alternative Names: None recorded.
Notes: N portal at ~[NC 7134 6429].
Length from NGRs, although this is a minimum distance between two entrances. The straight line tunnel shown on OS maps is a gross oversimplification of the cave, & the total length is probably closer to 100m.
