        History

        Brief description of art: European rock engravings: Since at least 1898 European or 'white' townsfolk have been coming up to this spot to carve their initials, names, dates and imagery such as brandy bottles, cow's heads, a possible dassie, cots of arms, hearts and such like. Most of these engravings have been carefully done with the most recent engraving being made in 2002. There are several dozen and perhaps up to a hundred individual engravings here. There are half-a-dozen on the vertical rock walls of the rock shelter below. In several instances individuals have returned on more than one occasion to engrave. Afrikaans ('Swanepoel') and English ('Ingram', 'Carter', 'Faure') names are represented in more-or-less equivalent proportion, though there do not seem to be any Dutch engravings.
