Directions: 

SLD10 is located on the east (pipeline) side of the road (at the chain marker: MHPO70), and may have been partially affected by the existing road.

SiteComments: 

Most of the site appears to be located on the small raised area besides the road. Several Early Iron Age decorated sherds and P. Perna fragments were recorded. The decorated sherds indicate that the site is associated with the Mzonjani Phase of the Early Iron Age, i.e. the first farmers in the St Lucia area. These decorated sherds date the site to between 1700 and 1500 years ago. The recorded material remains have probably slumped for the side of the site because of the road construction.
