These three adjacent sites on a ridge above Cromer Valley, which were first documented by W.D. Campbell in 1899.

A large circle: “cut nearly three feet six inches in diameter; this is an unusually large size”. I have not been able to re-locate this figure, which is likely to be covered by vegetation.
McCarthy Series 2 / Campbell Fig 6
Two men are engraved on a sloping rock: “the two slim men are old and faint figures of mythological importance” (McCarthy).
Campbell described the two men a little more poetically: “The legs are not shown, so that the lower portion of the body of each has the apperance of being clothed with a flowing skirt”.
McCarthy Series 3 / Campbell Fig 5
Near the two men is an eel and a school of 5 breamlike fish [with] pointed heads, oval bodies, 2 pairs of opposite fins, good tails”. They are near a a perfectly circular, and fairly deep waterhole.
The eel has six lines across its body.
The five fish have shallow grooves.
