CQ0

The 3 m wide x 1.1.m dH entrance is well hidden by the debris (talus) pile in front. It looked like another overhang from very nearby. You go down a rock debris pile to a flat sand floor and a roundish space 12m wide x 3 m dH with a lowering ceiling extension.

Notes: Access: down from the path at about NJ 16952 70338 through disused Covesea Quarry workings and then a steep rock debris slope. Slightly easier at the E end. Bottom half of tide.
