Description:

 Engravings   Paintings   Painted engravings   High or low-relief   Sculpture
Un unique panneau gravé (1,5 x 0,75 m) contient quatre figures réparties en deux registres. En haut, un signe "en diabolo" ; en bas, de gauche à droite, un arrière-train de cheval, une figure anthropomorphe, quelques traits rectilignes. Ceux-ci et le signe en diabolo sont très probablement modernes (non mentionnées par H. Breuil en 1945)

Figures:
total number 4
1 cheval, 1 anthropomorphe, 1 signe "en diabolo", traits indéterminés

Chronology:

 Palaeolithic   Epipalaeolithic - Mesolithic   Neolithic   Copper Age   Bronze Age   Iron Age   Roman   Middle Age   Modern   Unknown
La figure anthropomorphe, bien qu'incomplète, est très proche de celle de Saint-Cirq-du-Bugue. Les fouilles ont livré deux ensembles du Magdalénien moyen, avec industrie lithique, osseuse, art mobilier (deux bâtons percés ornés d'un bouquetin et d'un cervidé ; une statuette anthropomorphe sur phalange de cheval) et sépultures. Deux dates ont été réalisées par C14: 16200 + 600 (Gif5479) et 15300 + 410 (Gif 5478)

Conservation        

Status:

 Public   Private   Park   Classified site

Risk:
Les gravures, exposées à la lumière du jour, sont altérées. La rapide "cicatrisation" de la roche uniformise l'apparence des traits gravés modernes et anciens.

Conservation:

 Good   Quite good   Mediocre   Bad

Intervention:
Fouilles de Blanchard et Chauveau vers 1934. Le site est classé Monument historique le 6 mars 1935. Gravures signalées par Courty (1957), décrites par J.M. Bouvier et G. Trécolle (1966). Lecture de l'abbé Breuil publiée après sa mort (1972).
