      GradingComment

      G50 is the same as Prins' cluster 7. The site consists of a large stone walled byre with secondary walling. There is a possible house floor associated with the kraal. The entrance to the kraal is facing north, or downhill, and there are stone features ~10m from the entrance. These features could be graves. There are two more stone cairns ~25m east of the byre – GG1 and GG2. These are probably graves. Significance: The graves are of high significance. Mitigation: The site should be buffered from the proposed pivots. The site should be re-assessed after the area has been burnt to determine if the features
      are graves. If these were graves, the entire site would be protected from farming activities as the graves occur on each side of the main kraal and fall within their buffers. SAHRA Rating: 3A Grading by: Gavin Anderson
