Alternate Code & Name: Site RH-029
Site RH-29 comprises an informal Colonial Period cemetery containing 4 identifiable stone cairn graves. None of the
graves have headstones making further identification thereof impossible. The site is directly linked with the nearby
residential site (Site RH-30), giving the impression that it may well relate to early Colonial prospecting, providing for
a rough late 1860’s / early 1870’s date, or soon thereafter.The site will be impacted on by inundation levels and a Phase 2 Grave Relocation project should precede development. [Preliminary consultation with the Die Erfenisstigting indicated that they would be interested in, in the event of re-internment of the graves, to accommodate this at the Doornbult heritage site, a site currently proposed as a Grade I National Heritage Site (Pers. Comm.: Cecilia Kruger, Die Erfenisstigting, 2014). Motivation behind this proposal is based on the more focused conservation efforts at Doornbult, that at the local municipal
cemetery.]
