Statement of Significance
According to the guide followed by the recorders the site has moderate significance, however ascertained danger is foreseen. Thus it is recommended that the dirt road, on which part of the site is situated, be permanently closed to all forms of human traffic. Gully erosion should not be a problem as the site is situated on a relatively flat area. Sheet and rill
erosion, on the other hand, can be avoided by allowing the return of natural vegetation to the area,
which is exposed to the road. The site will be monitored once every twelve months.
