A site consisting of a gong rock with five percussion areas.The top rock may have been intentionally placed ontop of the two split rocks in order to create a better sound. On the slope, 3 m below the gong rock, four ceramic potsherds were identified. Based on the known presence of Doornkop / Eiland facies in the surrounding area, the ceramics may be possibly associated with that facies however the pieces are too small to give a definitive facies. No other archaeological remains or deposit could be identified nearby. The site is located 150 m from the proposed haul road.
