(Location amended to NS 0530 3031). This cave, whose name was recorded by Balfour, is identified with that noted by the OS at NS 0530 3031. It is situated at the foot of a low cliff some 60m from the W shore and adjoining an area of former arable cultivation. The entrance is partly sunk and the cave measures about 4.8m from E to W by 1.4m, with a low side-chamber to the N of the entrance. The average height is 1.7m to a flat roof, which appears to have been worked. The red sandstone walls are damp in places, but several crosses have been incised at a height of about 1.2m in the E part of the N wall. Most of them are simple equal-armed crosses up to 80mm in span, but one, which is 100mm in span, is incised with a firm V-section groove and has long forked terminals. This wall also bears modern initials and the date 1951, and several of the crosses have been damaged by recutting and added lines.
