That these stone structures are something other than redoubts is possible but appears unlikely. There
are no (visible) entrances to the structures hence it appears as if they were not used as kraals or
enclosures for animals. The remains of tins seems to indicate that there were used by people and the
lack of roofing material indicates that there also not used for storing food, supplies, etc. The lack of
roofing also indicates temporary structures that were built to used for short term piquet duty and not
for long term use such as block-houses that were built also during the Anglo Boer War.
