Packed stone walling in the form of a circular stone walling feature as well as a stone walling kraal were documented at a koppie. Two rock shelters were also observed with packed stone walling, however no obvious archaeological scatter or deposit was observed within the rock shelter, except a pitted lower grindstone and a bead was noted at the rock shelter. Random surface scatter of later stone age stone artefacts were documented around and on top of a koppie. The stone artefacts comprised mainly of formal tools such as endscapers, flakes and chips were also observed on top of the koppie. The stone artefacts were mainly manufactured on hornfels and other fine grained raw materials such as chalcedony and silcrete. A few fragments of porcelain and a copper and freshwater mussel were also documented around a circular stone walling feature. The freshwater mussel may have been brought into the area by otters or other animals.
