This is despite the fact that imagery on ceramics of those periods significantly differ from imagery on rock art but the theory has recently been advanced by Henry Petitjean Roget that ceramic art was executed by women and rock art by men.
The quoted Lat/long is not precise. When driving through the village along the main road, on the East side of the road, look out for a low, fairly flat boulder in the scrubby front garden of a hut-type house bordering the main road. There are two carvings on this rock. The rock can be viewed from the road side - permission should be sought to enter the garden.
Alongside the house is a track. Close by, and two huts further down on the left-hand side, in the back garden of hut is a very large boulder with at least six carvings. The house is occupied (2010) by an old lady. It is essential that permission is sought. A gift of groceries would probably be most welcome.
