Brief description of site: The site is on a large boulder on the middle slopes of Chongoni Mountain's west side. From below it looks like one boulder but it is actually two with a large sheltered area in between. This area is well shaded and protected and would have made an ideal habitation site and is extremely secluded making it an ideal hiding place.
Brief description of art: The site is a large protected surface holds a few scattered images. The motifs include 6 spread-eagled designs, a square with internal cross, a circle with internal horizontal line, all daubed in varying shades of white. The variation of the pigment in between each motif suggests that each was made at a different time. At the right end of the shelter there are three motifs made up of short joined lines. They looked to me like Chinese writing but this suggestion has been rejected by an expert on Chinese lettering. They are executed by finger in yellow.
