A small sea cave is located just to the south of Benbuie Cave [NX 36940 39320]. This is a 6 m wide, 6 m high triangular cave, in a fissure in the cliff. Depending on where it is measured it could go a considerable distance into the cliff. From the drip line, looking down from above, at least 8 m is visible. The side walls of the slot in the rock extend more than 20 m in front of the cave.
