Brief description of site: The site is on a very large boulder sitting on the lower slopes of Mlanda Hill's east side. There are a number of surfaces that are protected by narrow rock lips but there is little shade or shelter. Vegetation screens off the eastern side providing a protected and secluded area. The floor is scattered with broken pottery suggesting the site was utilised and is easily accessible.
Brief description of art: The art consists of 4 sets of concentric circles, 1 with externally radiating lines. 8 vertical rectangles with rounded corners and multiple vertical internal divisions. Also a few sets of parallel vertical lines and a set of more complex parallel curving lines. All the images were applied by finger in red. Much of the surface is open to washing and it appears that there may have been more images of which there are now no traces.
