The site consists of an informal cemetery (outside a formal cemetery administered by a local authority), which is approximately 20 X 30 metres in extent and is situated on the northern periphery of the development. Approximately 20 graves were identified, each demarcated by a packed heap of stones and a headstone. The graves are orientated east-west
with the headstones on the western side. Except for one partial notation no inscriptions were visible on the headstones. As such, it is impossible to determine the date of the burials and together with the fact that it is an informal cemetery, the site falls under the protection of Section 36 (and possibly even Section 35) of the National Heritage Resources Act (Act 25 of 1999) as well as the Human Tissues Act (Act 65 of 1983, as amended). Recent offerings were noted on the graves which might indicate a social connectedness between the graves and people living in the area.
