Beyond the trees is an impressive view over the valley to the hill beyond. The site provides a cool rest point protected enough to have been suitable for habitation. It is quite well hidden despite the easy access. The site is called the rock of the echo.
            Brief description of art: Preservation varies and in some places, the white figures are clear but the red filling has become faint. In other images the red is clear but the white filling is now faint. The bottom section of the panel is almost totally rubbed away by animals. Almost all the images seem to be bichrome.
