A historic-recent informal cemetery is located here. Of the graves that were visible, the largest majority consisted of oval-shaped stonepacked dressings orientated along the east-west axis. Only three formal headstones could be observed.
According to Mr. Hendrik (?), the cemetery was used to bury the farm workers working on this portion of the farm Vlakfontein. As the site is completely overgrown, it was impossible to obtain an exact count for the number of graves located here. A rough estimate of approximately 50 graves can be suggested at present. The oldest date that could be found on the small number of formal headstones is 1944.
Another date of 1955 was observed on one the cement headstone. No other dates were
seen.
