A short distance to the north of Bucca-ment Bay is the settlement of Layou, home to the Layou Petro-glyph Park. The Park holds some ancient Amerindian petroglyphs on a large boulder, likely to date from the Saladoid (Arawak) period of initial settlement (around 300-600 AD). Several Amerindian sites have been uncovered in St. Vincent but the meaning of the carvings remains uncertain – they represent some of the most intriguing reminders of the island’s original settlers. The petroglyphs are on the tentative World Heritage Convention list
