Cross Cave is actually three caves - each entrance is in open air.

Cross Cave (W) is a supratidal cave which runs initially W, and has a gently upsloping pebble floor. The effect is to reduce width and headroom until at L=23, one can crawl no further. The laser disto showed another 3m beyond this and the rock floor may well be much lower. Used by doves. W = 5.4 m.

Alternative Names: None recorded.
