The site lies near the Loopspruit in deep sedimentary soils. The area has been intensively farmed over a long period of time that would have destroyed any possible archaeological sites. Just west of the dirt road is an old farm settlement. The settlement has been neglected over a long period of time and is at present used as accommodation for farm labourers. The old home dates to 1857 that makes it one of the oldest surviving farmhouses north of the Vaal River. According to Adrian Mokgale who lives in the house the original owners of the house were the Grimbeek family after whom one of TIokwe's suburbs is named namely Grimbeek Park. The house has been altered over many generations and extended to make provision for a growing family. The original yellow wood beams were at one stage replaced with oregan pine. The ceilings and floors are now of imported oregan pine. The walls were built of lightly fired red clay bricks.
