Tunnel 2: NT 78212 71753 Is a small hole concealed in grass at beach level, some metres north [northeast] of No.1. A shallow drop leads to a passage well filled with tidal rubbish, but after about 10 m a similar 'coffin level' is gained. This continues for an un-established distance (not penetrated on account of mud and water at the far end), but said to be about the same length as Tunnel 1. Along the walls of Tunnel 2 are shallow alcoves for housing oil lamps.
