The paintings are found in two irregular rock-chambers, usually described as ‘pockets’, situated on the western cliff, about fifteen yards above the floor of the southern end of the gallery. Six such ‘pockets’ exist, but the remains of painting are confined to four, and those of any importance exist only in ‘pockets A and B’—two rough, natural chambers forming a cave 67½ feet in length, divided into two sections by a cramped ledge. ‘Pocket B,’ 41¼ feet long, is comparatively roomy, whereas ‘Pocket A’, 26¼ feet in length, is cramped.
