A smallish cave, only 9m from Bowduns N (2), but completely different in that while the latter is on a vertical joint, this one is based on a joint angled about 40 degrees from horizontal, going up from the SE side. This may be an extension of the same joint that gives a through sightline through and across both chambers of Deil's Kettle.
Towards the end of the cave, and to the right there is a blowback feature which operates near high tide in moderate swell and above.
Alternative Names: None recorded.
