Site Comments:

The site is a homestead complex which consists of 3 or even 4 single-room square houses. Only the stone foundations of the houses are still visible. The measurements of the foundations are roughly 4x8 metres with some sections as high as 0.5 metres. The three house are clustered together with the door openings (front) facing each other to form a small courtyard. Several smaller foundations were noted situated at the front of the houses which probably are the verandas. The structures were probably associated with early farm labourers. Although no substantial middens were recorded several pieces of glass, whiteware, corrugated iron and other metal pieces were recorded on the surface. 

Admin Comments:
The structures are probably older than 60 years.
