Grotto. Circa 1780. Granite with shell decoration. A round arch over a seat. The
front of the arch is faced with black volcanic pebbles; stone roof, the grotto built
against a granite boulder at the rear. The interior has pattern of ormer shells with
graded coloured pebbles between in red and black. The seat has a sloping back, with a
star pattern in shells and large conch shells along the top of the seat.
