Site 008 is situated adjacent to a dry gully, primarily to the south of the gully but with a few stone packed features indicating use of the northern side of the stream as well. The site comprises of the fairly recent remains of a contemporary herder settlement with compacted sediment indicative of a stock enclosure locality. A number of deflated middens yielded
primarily quartzite flake tools, undecorated ceramics and ostrich eggshell and indicates an older occupation layer. Structural remains are particularly scant and comprising of the very ephemeral remains of a few stone features on both sides of the stream. A stone cairn [8.1] is located upslope from the site remains at S28°08’29.2; E16°53’33.8”. The oval shaped stone packed feature could be a grave and is aligned east to west. The site is not threatened by current mining activities.
