Starts at 028 deg tall and narrow; then turns 37 left to 351 and gets wider to 13m, and eventually much lower and ends in a narrow apse with a small beach.
The last 15m or so is submerged at tide > 3.5 m and is quite likely to operate as a blow-back feature near high tide.
There are quite noisy gurgles on the right in mild swell.
Alternative Names: None recorded.
Notes: Access: by sea only and with low swell from south to east quadrant.
