Dry stone structure built using selected tabular blocks forming two faces and a core filled
with small irregular stones (Figure 6). The construction is similar to the field boundary walls
described above, though the kraal walls are wider and more substantial. The structure
comprised two distinct sub-circular enclosures built adjacent to each other, with a gap in
the dividing wall allowing access between the two, and is likely to have been lambing
kraals. The northern enclosure measured approximately 8m by 6m, and the southern
enclosure 5m by 2m. The kraals were built on a south facing slope and used the steep
rock outcrops to form the northern side of the enclosure (Plates 32a and 32b). A dry stone
wall extended from these kraals towards the farmyard to the SW.
