      History

      Brief description of site: The site is on a large boulder high on the steep central slopes of Chongoni mountain's west side up above MAL-CGN2. It is secluded amongst boulders and thick vegetation and is arduous and has limited access. The left end of the boulder is recessed and now overgrown and used by animals, it could have been used as a habitation site. Fair view out over plains to west.
      Brief description of art: The art consists of 8 stick-like spread-eagled motifs applied by finger (?) in white. Each image has different limb arrangements. The rock is interesting in that it is a grey in colour but has long curving natural lines of white within it. The images are between two of these. This site thus has natural snake-like meanders similar to those painted at other sites.
