Comments on the environment: Right bank of the Indus. Rocks 100m from the bank. All rocks except rock 14 are overhanging the road. Only one between the road and the Indus, and this rock was probably damaged during the construction of the road. Small dry stone walls built on or between rocks to demarcate cultivated areas.

Comments on the condition: Patina is crumbling. Engraved slabs in the middle of cultivated fields. In addition, they are used to dry crops. Construction of a road in the vicinity to access the village of Bema, so the site is potentially in danger, even though in 2007 the work had not yet affected the site.
