According the Celliers (2015) The site/cemetery contains in excess of 200 graves in total. During the May 2018 assessment the site and general area was covered by dense vegetation (grass, shrubs and weeds) and it is difficult to determine exactly how many graves there are located here. Some graves (of the OG4B section of Celliers) are situated partially in the study area and very close to its boundary. The largest number of the graves is stone and brick packed and demarcated by cement/concrete, while most do not have any formal headstones or headstones with legible inscriptions. However, some have and the Mchunu, Mahlangu, Mashiyani/e, Nyembe, Mokoena, Masango & Nzima families are represented here. The dates of death range between the early 1950’s and 1980 although some of the unmarked graves could date to much earlier than the 1950’s and more recent than the 1980’s.
