A tall natural arch across the south end of a channel which joins North Fellsigeo.

Notes: The current OS appear to have shifted the Natural Arch shown on the first edition westward and made it into a tunnel - which does not appear to exist. The arch at this location can be fairly clearly made out on Bing Aerial particularly and matches the photos below.

1st Ed OS 6in shows 'Natural Arch' on the right of a neck in a headland. This corresponds in its relationship to this arch, although the aerial layers of Canmore and Bing show that this map has the headland somewhat east of its true position.

Photo 2 shows the south side of the arch, looking NNW. By Mike Pennington. His NGR is to nearest 100 m which is clearly 'nearby' looking at photo 1.
