A small rift cave on the same fault as Gypsie's, facing 099 (E by S), and inside the W entrance to Clashach Cove. Big boulders have fallen in front acting as a holding for the sand floor which is at a bit over half the cave's unblocked height. The pre-boulder-fall rock floor can still be seen running under the boulders. Width at entrance is 2.8 m and it narrows down to a crack at the end.
Alternative Names: None recorded.
Notes: Access: by sea from Hopeman
by land. Go to Clashach Cove in the lower 1/3 of tide, via the coastal path from Hopeman harbour, or via the Clashach Quarry track E of Hopeman (limited parking).
