Labourers houses are referred to as ‘huts’ on the 1:50 000 topographical maps. These should be differentiated from ‘Compounds’, as the former are probably family units. A total eight labourer’s houses were observed on the 1964 topographical maps. The 1937 aerial photographs are unclear and I could not decide if some areas were houses
or trees: these will be placed as general sensitive areas for monitoring. These houses do not exist on the 2000 topographical maps and were not observed during the 2010 survey. All of the houses are currently under afforestation. Most of these sites will not be protected by the KZN Heritage legislation, as they are younger than 60 years. If the sites
have human remains, then they may be protected. Human remains may also occur underneath the hut floor.
