Mt. Rich Petroglyphs, Pre-Columbian rock art site in Mt. Rich, Grenada.

The collection includes multiple carved boulders along the Saint Patrick River, with the main stone containing over 60 detailed engravings.

German geologist Karl Sapper documented the petroglyphs in 1903, following an initial reference to these hieroglyphical characters in the 1833 Grenada Magazine.

The stone carvings represent communication methods and spiritual practices of indigenous Amerindian communities who inhabited Grenada between AD 700 and 1500.

The site functions as a heritage attraction with guided tours available through the Ministry of Tourism's Petroglyph Path program.

Two specific workstones near the main boulder feature six cupules, indicating the location served as an ancient crafting or ceremonial space.
