This site is situated approximately 400 metres south of the Great Fish River and about the same distance west of the Botha’s River Dam. It is located on a relatively flat orange alluvial sand plain with a gentle slope towards the dam. The area is well covered mainly with short bushes and shrubs. The archaeological visibility was good and a few stone tools were observed outside the perimeter of the area demarcated for the construction of the lodge. These included two Earlier Stone Age hand axes, a Middle Stone Age core and two Later Stone Age flakes. Earlier and Middle Stone Age stone tools are found throughout the region and the Albany Museum houses a large collection from the Grahamstown area. The stone tools were in secondary context and not associated with any other archaeological material.
