Cayley Lodge

About 4 km north of Cayley Lodge above the Ama Swazi settlement is an extensive rock ledge where 2 small streams enter the valley below. On the South side of this ledge is a small overhand with some reasonably well-preserved paintings comprising of a few Eland some other antelope, human figures and a very faint therianthrope (half human half animal drawing). This site has been badly damaged by graffiti and is now closed to the public.

This cave has also been affected by the unstable rock formation in the cave wall several cracks having appeared with possible negative future impact on the paintings.
