Site is on the first dune cordon from Lake Nhlabane. Site occurs over two dune crests and a flat area between
each crest. Artefacts are dispersed by bulldozer activity. Pottery is undecorated and a few diagnostic sherds were sampled. Shell is Perna perna and scattered across the area – no definite midden occurs. A few broken grinding stones were observed. One large (10cm diameter) piece of slag at base of dune. One fragment of human cranium was recovered from the conveyor belt below the site. No other human remains have been observed or reported. These remains probably slumped with the rest of the dune during mining operations.
