This is a settlement located at the western end of a low northeast-southwest running dolerite ridge. The site is small, roughly 30m at its widest. Deposits are mostly distributed around a boulder outcrop. The area roughly in the center is characterized by ashy soils, most likely a midden or kraal area. Surface material include ceramics, glass (black, yellow and blue) and shell beads, faunal remains, slag and spindle whorls. Several large ceramic fragments are visible in spaces between boulders. Most of the vessels seems to be shouldered pots, decorated with triangles, arcades and crosshatching incisions on the shoulder area. The ceramic and glass bead material all suggests that the dates to the 10th – 14th centuries.
