This Dwelling is built with rubble and clay. The historical remains consists of two hamlets (H01 and H02) which were probably occupied by two family groups living in close proximity of each other on the higher eastern banks of the Groot Dwars River. This hamlet is located on the floor of the Groot Dwars River Valley, approximately 120m below the escarp and the surface of the landscape above the valley. This hamlet has the most extensive stone walls and also holds the remains of a large dwelling which was constructed with rubble and clay walls.
