There is an OS cave dot here, on some versions of OS. See comment with photo 2.
Photo 1 shows the two 'short levels' as described above. The Needle's E'e is at top right. Taken at 12:38 BST on 14 Aug 21 - fairly near to low tide.
Photo 2 taken from a bit closer at 11:16 BST on 10 Sep 21. The tide level was about 0.7 m (Tides4Fishing). Note that some versions of OS show a connection/tunnel from here to Mermaid's Kirk Cave. There was no sign of such a tunnel when either this, or photo 1, was taken.
