Well, after some Googling this morning I managed to find a Info piece giving some details historic to Middelburg and amongst things the location of the "Old Canon Blockhouse" on the Stofberg road. The blockhouse was believed to have housed a Canon overlooking the Middelburg town area. The blockhouse has since then been covered with rocks and a Beacon erected on top of it. Obviously curiosity hit me and I just had to go take a peek
Wasn't there a long time but did manage to find some Brittish relics from the Boer was as well as some more modern stuff. What I like most about both the areas I am currently hunting around Kanonkop is that the modern world has not touched it much with very little modernday litter lying around.
