A tall, mostly supratidal, very short rift sea-cave which, according to the Ist Ed 25" OS, is the S end of Dunnimaol Subterraneous Passage.
However, a landing on 2 June 22 found the rift in photos 1 & 3 to turn slightly right (E) to a dead end. See photo 2.
On the same day, at the N entrance, there appeared to be light at the far end on the right alignment for this 'entrance'.
On 14 July 22, the N end of the subterraneous passage was entered and the light confirmed to come from the SE entrance, previously thought to be a separate cave.
Alternative Names: None recorded.
Notes: Access: by sea, near high tide in very low swell.
