      History

      Brief description of site: The site is on a large isolated boulder on the lower slopes of Chongoni's west side and is not far below MAL-CGN 15 and MAL-CGN16. The small shelter is recessed into a boulder and provides shade and protection but is too small for habitation, and has an outlook into trees.
      Brief description of art: The art consists of 3 panels. The first is a rough surface within the recessed shelter and contains a few modern zoomorphic designs executed in outline black charcoal (nyau - kasiyamaliro). The second panel is on an overhung surface on the west side of the boulder there are 2 spread-eagled designs (1 vertical, 1 horizontal) and the bottom half of a damaged 3rd design. All daubed in white, horizontal one is decorated with black dots. The third panel is on a poorly protected surface on west side of the boulder and there are 3 sets of parallel vertical lines, one crossed by short horizontal lines, a few dots. All the images are applied by finger in red.
