Brief description of site: A rock-face running along the east side of a large boulder directly north of MAL-MPH1. Protected by a small overhang. Site pleasantly shaded due to enormous tree near its centre, otherwise very little protection. Poor view, easily accessible.
Brief description of art: A long panel of red motifs, most faded due to limited protection. Originally there were probably more designs that have now been washed out. Site contains the tallest pictograph in Malawi reaching a height of 510cm. Unusual motif the subject matter of
which is much debated (see Juwayeyi 1991a). 2 similar but smaller motifs further along. Other motifs include sets of vertical and horizontal lines, rows of dots, a circle with a single vertical internal division and another with multiple vertical internal divisions. All applied by finger in red.
