Sizeable flooded sea-cave passes through a promontory of Ard Beag, beside Sgeir Dubh. From the large W portal at the head of a flooded geo, the wide passage becomes split by a rock wall; the RHS is a dead-end, whilst the initially narrow LHS becomes a cavern with a NE entrance floored with large boulders at the head of a separate geo.
Alternative Names: Àrd Beag Head Cave No.1
Notes: Given coordinates are for the W portal. Given length is an estimate.
