A cemetery is located here. It is situated on a slight slope roughly 75m south-west of a non-perennial stream. The cemetery comprises a total of 11 graves, all of which have oval and rectangular stone packed dressings orientated along the east-west axis. The cemetery layout consists of two North-South rows with two graves located in the western row and the remaining nine graves in the eastern row. While a number of the graves have upright natural stones on their western ends only one grave was observed with a rectangular cement block. No inscription was found on this block. From the relative sizes of the stone packed dressings it would appear that the graves of four adults and seven children were buried here, but this can of course not be stated as fact. No evidence of grave goods could be observed which suggests that the graves are not visited by the next of kin.
