• 1st Ed OS 25 in shows 'cave' at this entrance, with a tunnel indicated from an E entrance - rather more E/W than the actual NW/SE direction. Cave dot for this entrance on current OS (Canmore L9 & 10). Note that this map shows both usages of 'Bullers of Buchan' - one for the village; the other for the cliff south of The Pot.
• Photo 1 view looking NNE to this entrance. The slightly right (E) of vertical joint on which it is formed can be clearly seen. Taken 8/2/19 by N Feilden.
• Photo 2 looking towards this entrance from closer. Only a sliver of it can be seen, but the talus pile is clear. 8/2/19.
• Photo 3 looking down through this entrance from the top of the talus pile. Wave action can be seen coming in from the sea entrance. On 8/2/19, it was too steep and high to risk going down without a rope solo.
