Sea Cave in the cliff near the east end of Back Bay, immediately northwest of Callie's Port.
Approximately 4 m square entrance at a 45 degree angle (matching rock strata), 6-8 m deep.
Alternative Names: None recorded.
Notes: Solway Coastwise seem to believe this is Garrarie's Cave. Little or no evidence ()the name on later OS maps could equally apply to Garrarie's Cave [3] and cave [2] is not a suitable cave for hiding. Coastwise do at least admit it is difficult to identify the named caves.
