      History

      Brief description of site: The site is on a recessed shelter on a steep slope very near to the top of Chongoni mountain. The overhang provides shade and shelter from rain but the site is extremely exposed to wind. It could have been inhabited and Looks out to the west and north with magnificent views as far as Lilongwe capital city. Access to the site is extremely arduous and the shelter is not obvious. It sits just above a sheer rock-face. Access from the plain level requires a two hour brisk walk up a steep mountain slope and it is a very unlikely site at which to find images
      Brief description of art: The art consists of various well preserved motifs applied by finger in white. There are 9 small spread-eagled designs each different from each other, 4 circles, 2 vertically stretched circles one with 2 the other 6 internal dots and a star shape.
