A small rock, about 50 x 30 yards in plan view, located about 60 yards off from the cliff at Whipsiderry. At low tide, it can be accessed from the beach.

On the island, lead-bearing mineralizations crop out. There is also an ESE-trending iron lode crossing the island, which crops out in the cliff opposite to it. Hamilton Jenkin notes that there were some shafts 180 yards from the cliff edge, from which this lode may have been worked. These are now completely built over.
