This site is a Iron Age settlement situated on top of and against the slope of a low koppie. The site is roughly circular with a concentration vitrified dung, prominently situated in the centre. Around this are mounds of ashy deposits - suggesting the location of middens. There are indications of a few free standing, low stone walls and isolated terracing. These are not well defined and mostly collapsed.
Cultural remains include undecorated potsherds, soapstone beads, glass beads, upper and lower grindstones. Survey of the site surface did not locate any chronologically diagnostic ceramics. However the beads and vitrified dung may suggest a 10-14th century date for the site.
