A very small, just supratidal cave with a wide, low entrance.

Width = 5.1 m. The cave is partly filled with beach pebbles and would probably be significantly larger if these were removed.

Alternative Names: None recorded.

Notes: Access: by land at low tide. Note that access from what was the fishing station nearby to E is discouraged by the present owner (of Rock Hall on the inset map). This may mean going down nearer St Cyrus and going along the very rocky foreshore which gets cut off as the tide rises.

Photo 1 shows this cave (6) on the right, and (5) on the left. The whitish stuff is foam formed by wave action on biological material in the late autumn sea and blown by the onshore wind.
