Site Comments:

The area within the kraal contained a few Middle and Later Stone Age stone artefacts, an upper grinding stone, a few ostrich eggshell fragments and a few fragments of fresh water occurred between the kraal and the stream. A large stone wall complex including three large kraals and small pen and occupation area occurred at the area marked S33
over an area of about 200m x 100m. The kraals were built on the slight gradient slope; similar to those encountered on the farm Skietkuil situated about 15km to the north of the farm Modderfontein. One area contained two relatively large kraals built against the slope adjacent and connecting to each other, approximately 50m x 30m in extent, and 19 the remains of foundations of a stone wall structure that resembles a 10m x 5m hut at the base of the slope.
