A intertidal double rift cave facing about east. The rifts intersect on the cave tunnel line with an 8 degree S lean from vertical and the other dipped 24 degrees north.

Alternative Names: None recorded.
Notes: Access: by sea from Mill Shore, W from Pennan or E from Gardenstown or Crovie. Enterable by kayak at about 3.3 m ACD tide level.
