            Chiusi II
            Site
            Brief description of site: The site is on the West side of Chiusi Mountain under the tallest part of the hill. The rock is very obvious and visible from the base of the hill at the catholic seminary. Furthermore the rock is directly above the seminary perhaps two thirds of the way up the hill. The site looks west and has a very impressive view taking in Shire River, Lake Malombe, Lake Moleni (south) and the hills on the escarpment opposite.
            Brief description of art: The faint paint has not adhered well to the surface, there is also sand and dust damage. Originally it was a good frieze.
            Dzenza I
            Site
            Brief description of site: The site is on the Western end of Kasandama Hill and about a third of the way up the slope under a large boulder. The site faces South West into trees. Beyond the trees is an impressive view over the valley to the hill beyond. The site provides a cool rest point protected enough to have been suitable for habitation. It is quite well hidden despite the easy access. The site is called the rock of the echo.
            Brief description of art: Preservation varies and in some places, the white figures are clear but the red filling has become faint. In other images the red is clear but the white filling is now faint. The bottom section of the panel is almost totally rubbed away by animals. Almost all the images seem to be bichrome.
            Mphingwe I
            Site
            Brief description of site: The site is on a large rock at the south east corner of Mphingwe Hill two thirds of the way up the hill. Above and below the site are near sheer rock faces. Access to the site is easier from the south side. The site has a good outlook to the east and north. The site has good protection for a camp site or habitation.
            Brief description of art: The art is not very well preserved and has constant water running over it.
            Mwamwa II
            Site
            Brief description of site: The site is on the top edge of the Northern side of the second to last peak on the Mamwa Hill (?) from the lakeshore end. Access is difficult up a tunnel going up a hill. The shelter faces sideways into the hill and can't really be seen from below. The site has very fine views of Cape Maclear, it is nicely shaded until the late afternoon.
            Brief description of art: There are very poor remains of the art and the rock is very rough and the paint has not adhered well. There is a lot of washing and merely a crude set of parallel lines still exist.
            Nsoni I
            Site
            Brief description of site: The site is on top of the southern Soni Hill at the far East end. The site is on a large and obvious boulder right on top looking westwards. The site has views of Chingombe (?) and Namisalo plus the valley in front. The site would of made a good observation point perhaps for game viewing. It has pleasent shaded seating with little real shelter.
            Brief description of art: The art is of a very interesting design, all in red and would merit tracing. The site has a real lichen problem.
            Nsoni II
            Site
            Brief description of site: The site is on the west end on a small hill South East of the main Soni Hill with the radio mast. The site is approximately two thirds of the way up the hill on the western ridge. It is under a moderately sized boulder. It is visible but not immediately obvious as a site. The site has extensive views to the North and West.
            Brief description of art: The images are of an interesting sequence of paintings. First there are central circles and then linear dark red ones over. There are dots i red and white.
