The entrance is half way down the cliff on the NE side of the island. A low entrance leads to three chambers with evidence of mining. A blocked opening in the last chamber indicates further passage.

Alternate Names: None recorded.

Notes: A plainly marked path leads to the entrance and it is said that smugglers used the cave for the storage of contraband.
