Geodh'an Tuill penetrates Pabaigh Mor Pabaigh More has a tidally flooded low-lying area in the middle of the island (at one time used for buffering lobsters) which connects to the open sea over a reef to the northwest, and through a couple of rocky channels heading northeast. It's clear that those channels must have started the same way as this cave, which has penetrated right to the lagoon (from which it is separated only by a storm beach thrown up by waves entering the cave) and, on a geological timescale, is just about at the end of its life. Although one of our group walked over the arch, and once we'd paddled round the island several of us entered the cave from the sea, it is not the most confidence-inspiring roof, especially at this landward end.
