made by the British). The Boer defences depended on these features, and the trenches below them.
The road to Kimberley passed, at that time, round the eastern end of the Magersfontein kopje. The
British approach was over ground that was almost level. Indeed, the post-battle British map does not
even show what are now known as Horse Artillery Hill and Headquarters Hill and a visitor to the
site has to have them pointed out. They are the merest hummocks but are, nonetheless, sufficient to
conceal troops from observation from the trenches, though less satisfactory if the observer is on the
hilltop.
To get within attacking distance unscathed over ground more open than it is today meant a night
approach over country that had not been mapped in detail nor reconnoitred thoroughly, although this
task could have been carried out before 4 December when Cronjé moved south from the Spytfontein
position. Indeed, British patrols actually rode over the Magersfontein kopjes before then; until that
day they were there for the taking.
