Local oral history relates that a grave of a man accidentally killed by a wagon is located here. The wagon had been stuck in the mud and in the process of freeing it the person was killed. According to oral history the old wagon road passes a short distance from this spot and that is where the accident occurred (Du Preez, pers. comm.). No surface evidence for a grave exists and as a result its exact location is presently not known. The current landowner Mr Du Preez indicated that many years ago he had chanced upon a small piece of metal trellising similar to the type used to demarcate old graves in this area. At the time he had placed the trellising in the nearby White Milkwood tree.
