This is the remains of a block house dating to the Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902). The structure is found close to and to the east of Fort Schanskop , just east of the radar tower. It is the remains of the stone platform, built by the British, which was built as base on which a corrugated iron Rice-pattern blockhouse was placed . It has a circular shape and is a good vantage point to the north, east and south and probably served as an additional security measure to the fort. Pieces of barbed wire in the immediate vicinity of the structure may have been part of defense system thereof.
