Photo 1 this cave is out of sight and to the left (E) of the cave just left of centre (Snow Craig East cave 1). Find the edge between grass and rock and it is where that would reach sea level. Taken 16/7/20.
Photo 2 entrance from not far outside, looking ESE on 11/7/25.
Photo 3 looking inside from as close as could be got to on a 3.5 m tide.
