The remains of four circular stone walled enclosures were identified here. The enclosures were found on the summit of the same small hill described at Site 1. The largest enclosure measured approximately 3m in diameter and the walls were approximately 0,75m high and 0,5m thick. The other three enclosures were similar in size and measured approximately 2m in diameter and the walls were approximately 0,5m high and 0,5m wide. Interconnecting sections of packed stone walls were found in between the enclosures. The enclosures were most probably used as goat/sheep pens. A few bricks, fragments of cement and a few metal artefacts (such as cans and wire) were also identified associated with the enclosures. The layout and arrangement of the structures indicates possible linkages with herder activity and could also later have been utilised in historical times by other groups. The site can provide significant information on the pastoral activities in the area dating back to the Later Stone Age (LSA).
