SiteComments: 

The settlements on Drie Roode Heuvels, Schalkwykskraal and Welgemoed are generally located in valleys, close to water. The kraals vary; some are rectangular or square in shape, while others are oval or round. They are generally made of dry stone walling of irregular, angular blocks. Orton (pers comm) has recorded a complex of stone kraals (Site 543) some 20km to the east of the proposed Maralla East WEF, comprising a nested series of rough stone enclosures. These are similar to the stone kraals reported from the Zeekoei Valley Project, and suggest early pastoralist activity in this area. While similar stone kraals were not recorded during the Halkett & Webley (2016) survey, identification remains difficult and requires detailed field surveys, often not possible in CRM assessments.
