The National Monuments Service's description
Described by Van Hoek as 'A few metres to the SW of DON 23 (DG004-065) is another, lower ridge, excavated in the same way, thereby revealing a few engravings. This E group consists of only two figures. There is large disc-cup and a small cup-mark encircled by an oval incomplete ring. Both features are very close to the scarp on a part of the rock which slopes 7 degrees to the E (fig. 8F). This area of rock outcrop had been blown up with dynamite for quarrying by 1988 (Van Hoek 1988, 47).
