The historical remains consists of two hamlets (H01 and H02) which were probably occupied by two family groups living in close proximity of each other on the higher eastern banks of the Groot Dwars River. These two hamlets are located on the floor of the Groot Dwars River Valley, approximately 120m below the escarp and the surface of the landscape above the valley. The remains of both hamlets comprises of limited stone walls which probably served as enclosures for small stock such as goat or as protective walls in which dwellings of some kind were constructed. The hamlet with the most extensive stone walls (H02) also holds the remains of a large dwelling which was constructed with rubble and clay walls. A number of lower and upper grinding stones occur at each hamlet. One of the hamlets (H01) is associated with a graveyard with three graves (GY01).
