Common Name: Site N10/3 S3
Site Comments:

Site  is situated approximately 200m north of Site N10/3 S2 and more or less 100m west of the proposed linear study site on the property Langlaagte 262. Site N10/3 S3 is formally fenced within the farm portion with an access gate. The Site N10/3 S3 Colonial Period structure complex is divided into 2 parts (Pers. Comm.: R. van Rensburg, landowner – Tel / Cell: 082 877 7226):  The N10/3 S3 locality (S32Å31’50.8”; E25Å50’25.9”) represents a former commercial complex which included a police station, a general dealer and a petrol pump. Date of origin of the structure is unknown, but the site definitely pre-dates 60 years of age implying formal protection under the NHRA 1999. Stone walled ruins of the site is still clearly visible; and  The N10/3 S3.1 locality (S32Å31’47.6; E25Å50’26.7”) which demarcates the position of a Colonial Period homestead. The homestead is believed to have belonged to Piet Retief, who used it on a periodic basis as his ‘eastern border’ residence. The structure is roughly dated to 1812, implying formal protection under the NHRA 1999. Despite no longer habitable, the structure remains are particularly well conserved.
