A subtidal seacave with two entrances to two tunnels which join at approximately NJ 86619 65613.
The SE tunnel is navigable by kayak at all tide states and a 5.5m kayak can be turned at its join with the NNE tunnel.
The N entrance is too narrow at high tide, but navigable in the bottom 1/3 of the tide. The NNE tunnel continues S of the join with the SE tunnel. The extent of this part is unknown, but probably 30-40 m.
Alternative Names: None recorded.
Notes: Access: by sea.
Length is partly calculated from the entrance NGRs and partly estimated.
