Brief description of site: The site is a large prominent boulder at the north-west corner of Diwa Hill and it bulges out impressively towards the top to create a large protected rock surface. The floor area is flat and shaded but the rock is convex making all sides exposed. It may originally have been better protected by vegetation and has a good view to north and is easily accessible.
Brief description of art: The art consists of a large panel of images and many are well preserved. The images include: concentric circles, concentric circles with externally radiating lines, circles with externally radiating lines, concentric circles with externally attached half circles. There are also sets of long parallel vertical lines one set partially crossed by horizontal lines, various short vertical and horizontal sausage shapes with multiple internal divisions. A vertical meander, a long vertical line crossed by an upward curving horizontal line and 3 more complex geometric motifs. All the images were applied by finger in red.
