Aberdeen Wall Cave

The mostly supratidal cave consists of a 15 deg N of vertical chimney which leads to a more horizontal 'missing slice' chamber. On 7 Aug 22 there were a couple of ropes hanging down, one of which had loops knotted to assist ascent.

Aberdeen Wall is a contemporary name which refers to 'ABERDEEN' incised at the S end of the cliff, at about head height.

Notes: Access: in the lower part of the tide from the beach below Covesea Quarry.
