The Living Area, Lilyvale Immediately adjacent to the dump a low rise stretches up to a footpath, located adjacent to the formal housing area. This 'rise' constitutes an open section of ground along the slope, and which is linked to a section of stonewalling. This ground has all the characteristics of having once functioned as a living area for persons who received British military rations. A surface scatter of bully beef, Norwegian sardine and milk ration tins, together with glass fragments, strapping from crates and a large rusted lock were observed. These tins date from the Anglo Boer War and are always found at British military linked sites throughout South Africa and constituted the standard military ration. They lie on open ground which in turn bears the characteristics of once having been occupied by a number of people. The area is clear of large boulders, while the surface vegetation growth and general appearance in relation to height, density, and lack of growth in certain places are all suggestive of impact of human settlement. What was not observed during a very extensive surface examination was ammunition, buttons and other artefacts that are almost always found on ground once occupied by British troops. Nor were any stone circles in evidence; which would have demarcated formalised tent lines, an overriding characteristic of a British garrison position.Â
