Brief description of site: There were no pot sherds visible and the deposit at the site is quite small. There are a few stone tools (quartzite) are visible on the surface from the site downhill. There is a huge concentration of slag below the hill, and in the middle of these concentrations there are two holes, possibly where the furnaces stood. Beyond this archaeological feature is a curious ridge aligned in the same direction as the hill. The site is on a fairly small overhang that forms a shelter with a shallow deposit and does not seem to have been habited. The site commands a wide southerly view over the landscape. Brief description of art: Finger Dots. The art consists of many monochrome bovine animals and one possible feline. All the images are in red or a reddish purple and there are two apparent shades of red. The images include one overlay feline in blood red above a bovid in red/purple. There are numerous finger daubs in lines. One set consists of 3 lines, consisting of 7 in the upper line, 7 in the middle and 11 in the bottom line. Further left there is another two sets, one of 5 and immediately left another 5. On the far left there are 2 figures in a very pale pink/orange pigment, this might be the pigment or could be washed. The lowest figure on the panel is a bovid (antelope or cow) and it appears to have 4 arrows heading towards it. Halfway up the panel there are two very clear figures, one could be a quiver and the other a bird foot. This image is the same as the 'arrows' in the bovid scene. Lastly there is an antelope figure that is painted as if it is entering a crack in the rock, it might be in flight.
