Sea cave at the base of steep cliffs, in inlet south-east of Funniquey.
'Entered by snorkeller 19/8/21. Small entrance. Estimated ~1 m wide at waterline with ceiling ~1.5 m ACD. Ceiling rises to ~4 m ACD within entrance. Cave floor at ~0 - 0.5 m BCD. Passage length estimated at ~6 m. Dark at back of cave.' [Report 1145]
Alternative Names: None recorded.
Notes: I think the direction of this cave is facing SSW - based on photo 1 and the most likely location based on Bing Aerial. N Feilden 31/5/25. The plan on photo 2 makes the cave face ENE.
Dimensions are estimates.
The NGRs of this group of caves (CI75, CI41 & CI40) are, as far as possible, consistent with photo 1, an aerial map layer and the latitudes and longitudes given in Report 1145. But they may need some modification because the aerial has the shoreline in shadow and a larger scale context photo would be really helpful.
