This cave, known as Christy's Cave, is a small natural limestone cave that extends for 12m. The cave came to notice in 2013 with the discovery of a shell midden and small drystone wall located inside the entrance. Shells and bones exposed on the cave floor were examined and comprised limpet and bones of a dog, sheep and other mammals. There is no evidence to support the suggested medieval date proposed by Lavender-Duncan et al. (2013, 48) (pers. comm. Marion Dowd).
