        History

        Brief description of site: Climb to the top of Nachitalo Hill and find the saddle near the centre. The first site is a large boulder overlooking the south side of the saddle. The site is difficult to locate, there are many off tracks and it is best to find a local guide.
        Brief description of art: Graffiti. The art consists of mainly finger daubed geometrics and notable figure lines. All the images are in a similar blood red colour. The panel is a very large painted area that is heavily vandalized and recording is of little value. The paintings not written over have been chipped away. There is one clear antelope head executed in delicate lines at the west end overlying the 'comet' figure.
