aolson couldn't find on 21st Aug 1999 We approached the site from the south aiming for 46.265, 7.42044, but those coordinates were located seemingly on the face of a cliff. Further research is needed before the second attempt. Perhaps the pictures are of a vertical face best accessed from the N/NW.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Position of site unknown, co-ordinates given for nearest village. Natural cliff face north of town with a multitude of carvings and cup holes.
