History
Brief description of site: Large boulder with a substantial overhang on its north-west side. Situated on the lower western slopes of Chongoni mountain directly below DE42. Excellently shaded and sheltered, ideal for habitation. Excavated in 1976 by G.Mgomezulu where material was found suggesting extensive use over a number of millennia. Looking into trees, surprisingly
hard to find.
Brief description of art: 3 small spread-eagled designs, and one quadruped all daubed in white. Quadruped decorated with black dots. A filled white zoomorpic design with no legs (nyau - chimkoko?). 2 white outline complex box designs with external attachments (probably nyau
animal characters). A red and white dotted design (said by Mgomezulu 1978: 347 to be nyau - musungu). Other faint traces in white. 2 outline zoomorphs in black charcoal (nyaukasiyamaliro
& mdondo). Also a swirling line applied by finger in red, partially hidden behind boulder, may have been painted before boulder fell.
