SiteComments: 

This is Charlestown Muslim burial site. The mausoleum contains graves that have cement/brick dressing and headstone as well as graves marked using crosses and zinc plates . Some graves are just soil mounds. Graves in this mausoleum are oriented in different directions. Some have typical/traditional graves orientation which is east-west whilst others have south- north orientation . Like CHST-2 the south-north orientation is peculiar. This Muslim place of burial is still actively used by Muslims –either in Charlestown or nearby Volksrust. The Mausoleum contains approximately 60 graves.
