Photo 1 entrances in context. This one is on the left (E). Taken from about NJ 7816 6512. Note the small stack between them, which is end on from this location. Taken 16/7/20.
Photo 2 entrance from closer, near high tide on 11/7/25. Note the large flattened funnel like overhang around the low tunnel. This makes it quite difficult to decide exactly where the entrance is deemed to begin.
Photo 3 closer view of the low part of the tunnel. The LDM measurements were taken from here: distance to what appeared to be the back wall of the tunnel less a distance to the beginning of the entrance. Tide level 3.4 m ACD. 11/7/25.
