A quite low natural arch which is wider than it is high. A rectangular hole through the west of two short, parallel promontories. From above, they look a bit like a chunky tuning fork.

Alternative Names: None recorded.

Notes: Access: Either W from Covesea village, or E from the old Coastguard lookout to a point near NJ 18513 70919 where the path goes W for 170 m or so to a lower path, from which you can go either way, but in this case E to the end of the beach.

Altitude is above Chart Datum and is a visual estimate.
