A sea cave in the same little cove as Boiling Kettle. At certain states of tide water air is compressed in a cave system.

Alternative Names: None recorded.

Notes: A tiny aperture at the top of the system by the side of a prominent rock allows some air to escape with a strange sighing sound. Visited as a natural curiosity in the C19.
