W.D. Campbell recorded two deities, eight and twelve feet in height. They are both on a large rock platform towards the end of the spur. The larger of the two deities has an oval protuberance from his head, which may be an ornament.

The smaller deity is more weathered and is potentiallty an older engraving. The figure has outstretched hands and broader legs than the larger spiritual figure.

Aboriginal Sites by National Park

Yengo National Park was an important spiritual and cultural place for the Darkinjung and Wonnarua People for thousands of years, and 640 Aboriginal cultural sites are recorded in the park and nearby areas.
Over a hundred Aboriginal sites have been recorded in the Hornsby region, with many of these in the Berowra Valley National Park and around the suburb of Berowra.
Located to the north-west of Sydney, just south of the Dharug and Yengo National Parks, Maroota has a high concentration of (known) Aboriginal sites. Many more Aboriginal heritage sites are located in the Marramarra National Park. The original inhabitants of the area were the Darug people.
Over 40 sites have been recorded within the park; many were located along the river bank and were flooded by the building of the weir in 1938.
