Challenging the notion of wilderness, this ruin from the nineteenth century shows evidence of having been used well into the twentieth century. This building is in the vicinity of the Brakkefontein (Doorn) farm on the map of Early Cedarberg Settler Farms, though it is not likely that this building was connected to those early land claims.
