History
Brief description of site: The site is on a rock shelter halfway up a rock face, part of which is deeply recessed and appears to have been occupied even in modem times. The site is well sheltered and shaded, providing an ideal habitation site. Inside of shelter is a slightly secluded but easily accessible. Looking into trees, Twaluba can be seen opposite the site.
Brief description of art: The site consists of 4 filled animal designs. One executed in purple and overlain by dots is a fairly naturalistic feline, probably a leopard judging by it's tail. The second is an odd four legged creature with a featureless head other than an open mouth. The third is also undiagnostic and is overlain by short vertical lines. Only rear section of fourth remains. There is also a circle with externally radiating lines executed by finger and a high (360cm) spread-eagled design which gives the impression of a depiction of a man.
