Sea Cave at the upper limit of the inter-tidal zone below the castle on Ravens' Crag off Pathhead Sands, Kircaldy.
Alternative Names: None recorded.
Notes: Although the cave opens onto the beach the tide rarely comes high enough to reach the cave entrance. Grass has now colonized the sand which was all sand in the 1960s. Landscaping of the area between the harbour maltings (and sewage works) created a public park behind a concrete sea wall raising the ground level to the west of the castle and there is now a concrete walkway at the base of the crag.
