Abstract/Overview

Ohingni (singular: ohinga) are ruins of dry-stone walled settlement enclosures unique in Kenya and East Africa. They are architecturally similar to the dry-stone structures of Zimbabwe and Botswana, though less skillfully made. The biggest and most elaborate structure in Kenya is Thimlich Ohinga, in Migori District, which in 2000 was named in the List of 100 Most Endangered Sites by the World Monuments Watch.
