Patrick's Shelter is in the Amangwane Traditional Authority Area.

Interpretation by Celeste Rossouw: Natural features such as holes and cracks in the parent rock are sometimes incorporated in Bushmen rock art. In this depiction a hole represents one man’s head and three holes represent another’s eyes and mouth. To the right of these figures is a painting of what researchers think might be either a waterfall or a hive. More research is needed about its significance.
