The kraaled city is situated on a hill ... The huts resemble bee hives ...

North Star (Danville, Vermont), Oct 18, 1825, page 1, col
2.  Headlined "Miscellany. From the Hampshire, Eng.
Telegraph."  Early American Newspapers.

Antedates kraal, v., 1865- (yes, I do know "kraaled" is an adjective here).
