An unusual supratidal cave which has a fairly chunky entrance, 11m wide. It looks as if a pyramidal chunk has been taken out of the cliff. The apex is at the intersection of two joints, roughly at right angles to each other and making an 'X' when looking along the axis of the pyramid. This axis is approximately horizontal. No obvious signs of direct wave action. Has a pool near the inner end fed by fresh water leaks from above, maybe fed by the stream that runs nearby on the rock platform to N, in wet weather. Used by rock doves.
Alternative Names: None recorded.
Notes: Visible from sea, but not easily accessible.
By land from the coast path at NO 88036 81656. Park at NO 87641 81612. The last climb down is short, but quite steep.
