716 meters

Burned grassland on the upper slopes of a steep brushy ravine leading to Dorpspruit (a creek). Introduced species at road cut.
Probably never plowed, and not recently grazed, but crossed by several foot paths and has received some garbage and debris from nearby houses. Apparently reserved as natural area.
