History
Brief description of site: The site is on a large recessed shelter near the top of Mchenga hill. 30m2 of well protected and shaded floor, the site would make an ideal habitation. It is also well secluded and is not obvious until one gets close. Good views over Linthipe river valley to the north.
Brief description of art: The surface is flaking in a number of places and it is probable that more pictographs existed of which there is no trace now. There is a small spread-eagled design daubed in what looks like brown mud. Various short lines appearing in sets of 4 as a cross without
the central section, and vertical rows of short horizontal lines applied by finger in white. Also a set of vertical lines, 2 sets of horizontal lines and few thick short lines applied by finger in red. Over some of these are various outline zoomorphs in charcoal (nyau - mainly kasiyamaliro ).
