The site consists of a historic/recent cemetery which is comprised of two graves. It is situated approximately 20 meters from the farm dwelling at Site 1 and is enclosed in a rectangular brick and palisade fence with a single entrance. The two graves located within the grave yard can be described as recent/historic and have inscribed granite grave dressings in the form of logs. The graves lie next to one another and there are several large trees both within and on the perimeter of the grave yard. The grave inscriptions read as follows: SLAAP RUSTIG LIEWE MOEDER SIENTA VAN NIEKERK (GEB. SMIT) GEB. 24-6-1894 OORL. 9-6-1976 SLAAP RUSTIG DIERBARE EGVRIED DANIEL JACOBUS V. NIEKERK GEB. 5 NOV. 1892 OORL. 6 SEPT. 1952 According to the archival research undertaken, Daniel Jacobus Van Niekerk acquired the remaining extent of the farm Leitrim during 1942 and must have owned it until his death in 1952. His wife, Sienta Van Niekerk, presumably acquired the farm from her husband and stayed here until her death in 1976.
