Brief description of site: Located in what is typically rock engraving country.The three sites are in close proximity to each other but are located on separate hills. Boulders containing rock engravings are scattered on the hilltops as well as on the banks of the hills.
Brief description of art: RSA RHG1 has a single image located at the foot of a gentle hill. It is about 10 metres from the farm road. The lone image is that of the sacred eland. The image lacks over emphasised detail. Deep incisions have been made into the rock to create a thickened outline. The detail is not fine as pecked engravings; however, great care was taken to show the eland's horn, dewlap and hump. There is also fine detail in the head and especially the mouth. The hindquarters appear to be foreshortened as they take the shape of the boulder. This image demonstrates intentional use of the shape of the boulder. Whether this was a deliberate technique to make the hindquarters appear foreshortened is disputable. However, it does seem plausible.
