    Site is a small rocky outcrop overhang located south-east of Clanwilliam over looking the Jan Dissels River and a weir. The images consist of approximate 11 human figures patinated with red and yellow pigment moving from left to right. Two separate individuals located on the panel on the bottom left corner of the panel surface painted in red. The human figures seem to be wearing karosses and carrying quivers and skin satchels. No other images located on this rocky outcrop.
