Extensive erosion donga on both sides of the R68. Artefacts are plentiful and occurs in donga and none on adjacent surfaces. No stratification. Hand axes, points, cores etc. Early and Middle Stone Ages. The artefacts are
representative of the later part of the Early Stone Age (possibly Sangoan) and early, or pre Howieson's Poort phase of the
Middle Stone Age. The raw materials vary from hornfels to quartzite to sandstone. Most of the artefacts are heavily rolled,
indication their exposure to water transportation. These tools were probably washed into the gully from the higher-lying
area to the south of the road, and are not in context. However, this site is situated more than 300m to the south of the
preferred powerline.
