Cove [Rockfall]

Cave or possibly mine entrance. There is no obvious cave entrance along this stretch of shore. There is a rockfall and this may conceal a previous cave entrance but any cave here would probably have been small.

Notes: As the original coordinates are a little vague, this is possibly a duplicate of Piper's Cave [NT 78243 71765]. There are no other unidentified holes in the cliff nearby.
