Rock Art in Graubünden. Cliff of the upcoming rock sanded by the glacier. Length: 13 m Width: 8 m

Rock plate with cups, concentric circles and other engravings, about 120 in total. The rocky area was only partially uncovered in 1990; on the free rocky areas 4 cups, two circles and 9 cups with concentric circles (3 times 1, three times 2, 3, 5 and 6 circles) and an oval with a cross (as on plate VII of Carschenna) could be recognised. An archaeological survey in the spring of 1994 showed that at least 60 to 65 systems of concentric circles were uncovered on the entire rocky crest.

Rating : 5 - safely artificially made

Dating : On the basis of the motifs and taking into account the state of the surface and the weathering rate of the rock, the engravings can probably be dated to the same time as those of Carschenna, i. e. to the Bronze Age. Nearby is the Padnal hilltop settlement.
