            Allemans Poort I
            Site

            Brief description of art: Site is in a Krans close to the farm school and labourer's quarters behind a dam. The clearest paintings occur in a scene, which is painted in a hollow of the rock. The scene consists of humans and a lion. Two 'double up' figures in black are running towards the lion, which is to the right. The lion is white with a black spine. Its mane it is also black with white dots painted on it. Below the lion's right foot is another human figure that might be sitting with arms stretched forward. Above the lion are two figures in white who face the running figures.

            Another panel, close by, has only faded paintings, but contains a number of finger dots on the extreme left. On the extreme right of this panel there is an unusual painting, in yellow, of a lion in three quarters profile leaping down the rock.

            Although the field notes are not clear, it appears that this panel also contains an eland suckling its calf. The eland and its calf may be connected to a running figure, with its hands up, by a black line. The running figure faces two felines in white.

            Leeuwe Fontein I 111
            Site

            Brief description of art: Site is situated at the Northern end of the farm dam, approximately 200m from the road. Site consists of 2 panels. The first panel is 600mm wide by 190mm high. The content of this panel includes 2 eland in red and white. Superimposed on these are 2eland in grey with red dots over them. Te red and white eland have four legs, as is normal, while the 2 grey eland only have 2 legs. The eland on the left faces a human figure to the left. This human figure has a limp penis holds a stick in one hand, and a grey fish with red dots on it in the other hand. There are 5 fish along the back of the eland. These fish are also painted in grey with red dots on top. Below the eland are another 2 fish. The eland on the right has its head raised and faces right. This eland is painted in grey and has red dots painted on top. Ten fish, in grey with red dots on top, are painted below its belly and dewlap. There are other bits of paint near these figures but these are indistinguishable. There are some figures approximately 5 meters to the right of these depictions.

            The second panel is roughly 3 meters to the left of the first panel. It consists of 4 indistinguishable animals (possibly eland or cattle or buffalo), and 13 humans. Four human figures are in the double running posture.

            Tyger Klip I
            Site

            Brief description of art: Two sites SW facing in a ravine, which is upstream from the deserted buildings, marked as RSA TYG1. The upper site is sparsely painted containing only a few figures. It was neither photographed nor sketched.

            RSA TYG1 has 7 panels. Panel 1 contains a depiction of a large, clear person, outlined in white, bending forward. There is also a depiction of a woman holding a digging stick.

            Panel 2 contains 4 ostrich, a quagga, and 2 eland. Large bellies are noticeable on the 2 eland and quagga.

            Panel 4 contains a depiction of what Woodhouse has labeled a beehive, but there are no bees painted on the rock. A small white antelope is also depicted.

            Panel 7 is in a very sheltered corner and is the best-preserved panel. There is a large group scene of about 16 figures all in red. Eight of these figures are outlined in white. The 6 largest figures, average 300-310mm in height. At least 6 figures have 'headdresses' in black with brown/cream dots on them. Six of the figures hold sticks with inverted black triangles on the end that are flecked with dots. The individual fingers of the figures are drawn. None of the figures have penises and 1 figure is clearly female. In the centre of the panel is what appears to be a man/eland combination figure although this is unclear. Superimposed on the left hand part of this group are 10 white figures, most of which are running.
            Digging sticks.
