A low density Middle Stone Age Scatter was identified along the initial proposed route for the access road south of the study area. The lithic remains are scattered as individual artefacts where precipitation and groundwater have exposed the stone tools. Typologically, the artefacts can tentatively attribute to the Middle Stone Age. This area has been adversely altered by agricultural activities and the occurrence is of limited scientific value due to the mixing of artefacts and the low density of the lithics.
