During the survey, medium to low densities of Middle Stone Age (MSA) artefact scatters were observed in the study area along sections of the preferred and alternative routes for the proposed road upgrade, directly east of Swartkop Hill on the farm Zandkopsdrift. These occurrences are located within the context of large quartzite exposures in a large drainage line, a tributary of the Swart-Doring River. In most instances, the MSA material occur in open contexts. Some of the flakes could also be attributed to the Later Stone Age (LSA), as secondary retouching of the artefacts was noted.
