A small, upper intertidal cave facing southwest from the northeast end of Mermaid's Kirk. It appears to be a continuation of the double joint rift cave/tunnel of Mermaid's Kirk Cave. It is 4.5 m wide at the entrance.
Alternative Names: None recorded.
Notes: Access: by land via Mermaid's Kirk in bottom half of tide.
The cave was measured on 7 January 2022 by N Feilden. It was a bit difficult to decide exactly where the cave starts because it is under a big overhang - about 8.7 m to the entrance which has not been included.
