Very large historical settlement with many dry-stone structures. All are built with two skins with a rubble fill. The site is bisected by the present farm access road. It lies on a northwest-facing slope with two large kraals being built up against sandstone outcrops. The structures are various sizes with the smallest about 1.5 m diameter and the largest some 25 m by 32 m. One semi-circular wall was very thick, c.1.2 m. A variety of different types of ceramics was found associated with the northernmost structures along with a bottle base and some tin. A trapvloer (threshing floor) is located further to the northwest in the river valley. The edges are low walls rather than the typical standing slabs and it is 13m in diameter. The
mapped area is some 100 m by 110 m.
