The site is a Late Iron Age stone-walled settlement. The settlement consists of the following
structures:
• six enclosures clustered together, with a main enclosure (approximately 8 metres in diameter) on the rocky outcrop
• A large enclosure (approximately 25 metres in diameter) with several secondary stone
walling and enclosures attached to it.
• Several large packed stone heaps (it is unclear if these are graves)
Although no house remains were recorded, a broken lower grindstone was found near a wall associated with the large enclosure. Due to the high concentration of enclosures the settlement was probably a cattle large outpost associated with the Bafokeng of Kgosi (Chief) August Molotlegi Mokgatle who’s people lived further north.
