Two large quartzite manuports (some 30x20x15 cm) “planted” vertically and about 5m to the south-southeast is another vertically planted stone in calcrete. It is highly unlikely that these three manuports became positioned the way they are by natural agents and therefore it appears likely that people placed them in this fashion to signify something. About 15 to 20m north of the above-mentioned manuports is another collection or cache of manuports in quartzite and calcrete, which cover an area of approximately 12m2. This cluster of stone is not in a pile as those associated with clearing a field of stone before plow and neither is it in the vicinity of a cultivated field. The collection of stone is also too small to be the ruins of a structure and lacks any materials that may indicate the use of the area for habitation. At the northern edge of the cluster is a vertically planted block of calcrete. While these occurrences require further investigation, it is possible that they are associated with burial(s).
