A seacave with a tallish triangular opening to a tunnel on the same general direction as Henry's Scorth. There is a blowback feature inside, at the end of the initial chamber which operates quite vigorously even with a low swell.
There appears to be more cave beyond the narrows, but it is unclear whether this will be kayak navigable even at low tide and low swell. It may be divers only access.
Alternative Names: None recorded.
Notes: Length to the narrows and depth at entrance were measured 9/9/20 by Nigel Feilden.
The further length beyond the narrows is unknown.
"Two caves, in Fowls Heugh frequented by flocks of blue pigeons." (1)
