The whole area is a scatter of artefacts ranging from Early Iron Age (Ntshekane Period) to the more recent Historical or Late Iron Age. The Ntshekane pottery is concentrated on the lower parts of the hill, while the Historical/Late Iron Age pottery occurs throughout the area. Two pieces of slag, and some quartz and quartzite hammer stones and flakes were observed. Nothing in this immediate area suggests that there is a furnace. However, the Ntshekane sherds appear to increase in density to the northeast of the site.
