Scope

Large, isolated and fragmented boulder near base of escarpment close to stream channel. Carvings on sloping upper surface. Panel has split since the carvings were made.

Arrangement

Abstract, grooves, pecking, polishing: On larger panel fragment are two roughly elliptical areas of polishing around U-shaped grooves. Some pecking over and around the polishings. These carvings are adjacent to the remnants of three wide U-shaped grooves, now partly exfoliated and truncated. The tapered ends of these grooves are on the smaller boulder fragment, lying adjacent to the larger fragment. Also on this smaller are two pecked abstract curvilinear shapes, possibly Libyan characters.
