The National Monuments Service's description
Described by Van Hoek as 'Some 350cm further NNE from DON 11C (DG004-063003-) and near the base of the ridge is another interesting carving, mostly overgrown. On this part of the rock, sloping 19 degrees ENE, is a very clear flat-bottomed recessed footprint. It is surrounded by four extremely faint oval rings which are almost completely weathered off at the S quadrant. The footprint is 18cm long 6cm across the toes, and 6cm across the heel (Fig. 5D)' (Van Hoek 1987, 30).
