1.6 km west of Agtersfontein farm, raised complex rocky outcrop just east of steep Agtersfontein se kloof gorge
Low shelter on a ledge, on northern side of rocky outcrop. Artefact scatter spills down from shelter onto the slope below, densest at the base of the outcrop. Mixed LSA/MSA scatter down the sides, MSA rocky platform scatter on top of the outcrop. Two bifacially flaked pieces of silcrete - one is pointed but atypical for a Still Bay point. Possibly pressure flaked? LSA assemblage is typical (hornfels, ccs, quartz) also with pottery. Typical MSA rocky platform assemblage in quartzite and silcrete with faceted platforms present
