Statement of Significance

This blockhouse, which dates from 1901, was built of dolerite stone. During the Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902) it formed part of a line of similar blockhouses that was erected to protect the road link between the two railway lines that ran through Kimberley and Bloemfontein respectively.
