The cave in question is on the east side of the headland, facing the north-eastern bight of Ob na h-Uamha, and is called an Uaimh Shiannta, the charmed or tabooed cave. The most northerly point of Applecross, Sròn an Iarruinn, iron point, wrongly given on the O.S.M. as Rudha na h-Uamha, which latter name belongs to the headland that projects north-westward into Ob na h-Uamha.
