A detailed search of the bush-covered site located about two dozen tools, mostly Later Stone Age3 (LSA) flakes, chips and chunks and at least two cores, while several utilized flakes were also counted, as well as one end scraper and one miscellaneous retouched flake. One snapped MSA quartzite flake was also found. No evidence of any quarrying or any activity areas is visible on the site, although much of the silcrete deposit is covered in low bush, scrub and grass. Some animal trampling and a layer of dry dung are also present, possibly obscuring any of the above activities. A number of large silcrete boulders also occur in a line immediately alongside a farm road, about 175 m east of the LSA quarry site. It is possible that other silcrete rocks were removed from this area, when the road was constructed and the surrounding land prepared for farming.
