What is recorded here

Described by Van Hoek as 'About 100m NNW of DON 26 (DG004-069----) and just W of a the track leading to DON 28 is a grass field with a considerable rock outcrop. On a faint ridge, somewhere near the middle and near its W edge, is a large cupmark (15cm) surrounded by a faint single ring which is probably gapped to the SE. Two other smaller cups have traces of one single ring each. There are two oval cups, six doubtful midget cups and some indistinct grooves. The surface of the rock slopes down some 10 degrees to the SSE where carved. The rock is also quite rough, thus obscuring the exact pattern of the inscriptions (fig. 9A)' (Van Hoek 1987, 39).
