Brief description of site: A tall boulder that overhangs at one end producing an inset surface moderately well protected. Near the edge of the hill, looking into trees and other rocks. Pictographs visible from a few metres away. Pleasant shaded seating but no shelter. Easily accessible.
Brief description of art: An impressive panel of pictographs surprisingly well preserved in comparison to nearby sites. Central design is a large filled animal with exaggerated sized body, stumpy legs, a long neck but no head. Dewlap suggests that this may be an eland. Rear section has
been eroded. Other outlines can be seen under present shape suggesting that a similar animal has been repainted a few times in the same place. Also partially underneath is different rather hippo-like animal. In the top right comer is another filled design that looks as if it may be the head, trunk and tusks of an elephant (another possibility is that it is an
ostrich). Over and around these brushed animals are multiple crossing rows of dots.
