An interesting collection of stones next to a dilapidated hut. The broken stone exhibits bowl-shaped depressions that were not caused by weathering. Excavations have uncovered quartzite tools. This suggests that Paleolithic people mined and prepared material for stone tools here.

Completely "polluted" with water lettuce. No water to be seen anymore. Visually impressive but not good for flora and fauna. Still a very nice destination with a bench and shelter
