Sea-cave, probably part phreatic. Inward narrowing arch level with pebble beach leads to ascending chimney emerging on sloping ledge above.

Alternative Names: Boiling Kettle Cave, The Bubbling Fountain

Notes: At certain states of tide the sea-water 'boils' in the chimney hence the name. A curiosity for C19 visitors to Weston.
