The poorly preserved remains of a farmstead is located on Portion 4 of the farm Zoekamma 302 owned by Mr G. Lemmer. According to Mr CL Lemmer, the farmstead was occupied by a ‘Mr Grasman’. During the archival research a diagram was located which indicates that in 1947 this property was owned by a HJ Grossman. A farmhouse is also depicted on a survey diagram compiled in March 1915. It is therefore evident that the original farmhouse would have been at least 100 years old.
Apart from two reservoirs, very little of the farmstead still remains. With the house being at least 100 years old, it is
possible for archaeological middens to have been associated with the building. No evidence for such middens was found although the dense vegetation covering the site may have attributed to this finding.
