Sea Cave
Alternative Names: Dove Cave, Pigeon Cave
Notes: The boundary between the Mossyard steep belt and the Mossyard-Gatehouse buckle fold belt is well exposed on Ringdoo Point at Locality 7 (NX 545 513) and takes the form of an axially faulted anticline. [earthwise]
The section from Ringdoo Point (NX606456) to Dove Cave (NX604460) shows a gradual northwards transition from coherent to disrupted. The southern margin of the disrupted zone is truncated by a `wrench fault' although as only 500 m of coherent sequence separates this unit from the Ringdoo Point-Dove Cave zone they may be parts of the same unit now offset by subsequent faulting.
