      History

      Brief description of site: The site is on a well protected surface that is overhung by a tall rock face. The site is in a narrow passage way between two rocky hills. The site is somewhat hidden by a boulder in front of it. The site is easily accessible but hard to find. The site is partially visible to anyone passing along the passage way. The shelter is small and has no view.
      Brief description of art: The art consists of a central design with an animal and an antelope (probably an eland). The art is of simplistic style although somewhat distorted, with no head and slightly exaggerated stomach. On the left is a faint spread-eagled design probably applied by brush. Around these is a large circle of many small brushed motifs, most appear like arrows but some resemble stick representations of people. On nearby rocks there are rows of dots and a complex geometric shaped design.
