Alternate Code & Name: HBS-2
HBS-2 consists of a historic white burial ground. The site is situated in amongst a number of old farmsteads, a short distance from the Hartebeestspruit. From the names appearing on the gravestones it is evident that local farmers and their families were buried here. While the most recent graves date from the 1970s, the oldest located grave dates from
1873. The largest majority of the buried individuals belong to the Prinsloo family, followed by the Bester, Fuchs, De Lange and Smit families. Many of these family names appear on the farm’s ownership records. The burial ground is fenced and has a gateless opening on its south-western side which provides access. The entire fenced area is severely overgrown. The general condition of the graves is good.
