A view looking towards the summit of the kopje with a protective thorn zariba surrounding the hill in the foreground, inside which are wagons and tents. On the summit of the kopje is the earthworks fort itself with an encampment of bell tents inside a brushwood perimeter fence and a sandbag lookout post. The fort itself was built, after the main body of the column had passed through, by a troop of BSA Co. police left behind as a garrison by Willoughby.
