A subtidal cave with a side entrance quite similar to the Geo of Sclaites Arch, but about half the height. The cave tunnel line faces ENE.
Alternative Names: None recorded.
Notes: Access: by sea eg E round Duncansby Head from harbour N of John o' Groats at ND 37982 73468. This would best be done near the end of the flood tide so that the return can be made during slack high tide, or at the very beginning of the ebb.
Dimensions are a guesstimate.
