Site VVF05 is a small cemetery with 8 graves aligned in three rows. The cemetery total size it is approximately 6m x
9m in size and it is fenced off from the rest of the site . All graves have headstones and dressing and all are orientated West-East (a typical grave orientation position); however, all have crudely constructed dressings and headstones using cement and various types of bricks . Two of the graves, have inscriptions on the back of the headstones reading MahlGgu and Mahlaggu : a popular Ndebele surname Mahlangu wrongly spelt in the case because according to an old men spoken to during the survey in the nearby village the graves are said to belong to the Mahlangu family which still resides in the village. The two inscribed graves have grave goods, two yellow/cream bowls with black rims . All the graves in the cemetery are painted in white.
