SiteComments: 

Sites consist of openair surface scatters of Stone tools of varying density, from single objects to concentrations of material. Many of these are located close to the rocky outcrops found in parts of the study area and near and around the various pans found here. Some of the denser scatters of material include cores, waste flakes and flake tools such as scrapers ad broken blades and could represented knapping (stone tool manufacturing sites). . As such mitigation measures are required. It should also be noted that there could be many more such sites in the area, and that it would be impossible to have recorded all of the occurrences in such a large area. Many sites and deposits could also be covered by the soil and sand found in the area, The rock engraving is of particular importance and although only 1 was found there could be many more located here that were not visible. Another engraving site dating to more recent historical times were also recorded in another section of the study area.
