      History

      Brief description of site: The site is located on the short, noticeable krantz line to the south-south-west of the engraving site. The paintings are on vertical walls.
      Brief description of art: This is a 3 m high and shallow bilobial shelter immediately to the east of a large white stain on the krantz. There is a 350 mm x 200 mm large red eland body; the white paint of the head, dewlap and legs having faded. There are at least 2 other such eland. There are at least 14 human figures painted in black. One of the figures carries two sticks or arrows. Some of the human figures appear quite fat.

      As per Site 1, albeit with some depth of archaeological deposit and a richer, more localised concentration of hornfels (lydianite) and crypto-crystalline silicate artefacts. There are many ostrich eggshell fragments - some from beads and some from water containers. Bone is also present in reasonable quantity.
