SiteComments: 

The site consists of three stone circles measuring approximately 3 meters in diameter together with a scallop (half circle). In the southern portion of the site is a small cluster with a concentration of ceramics, lithics (on milky quartz and calcsilicates), ostrich eggshell (some are burned) and bone fragments. In the vicinity of the study area stone-built structures, described as ovals or circles in the literature, are known to occur at Jagt Pan 7, Droëgrond and Springbokoog. These features may represent the bases of huts, windbreaks or hunter’s hides. These sites are linked to the historic /Xam communities of the area who followed a hunter-gatherer lifeway. Therefore this site is of high significance and given a field rating of Generally Protected A.
