A small arched roofed cave, well hidden on the cliff edge. The cave has the remains of walling across its entrance. 2m high 2.5m deep and 3.6m wide.
Alternate Names: Smugglers' Cave [2]

Another reference in "The Story of a Small Island" (1993), where Stan & Joan Rendell say "we ... immediately named the larger one Parsons' Cave" - although in the original magazine article they put the apostrophe between the N & S !
