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.
