Title: Ndirande ruins

Description: These were two ruins one Terraced Encampment and another a Stone Semicircle situated at lower slopes of Ndirande Mountain. The former structure was made of a series of well planned ridges 3000-400yards long and 50feet high. The latter ruin consisted of nine 1-2 metre high stones arranged in a semicircle. Considerable efforts were made in constructing the structures but their function remains a mystery. They seem to have been erected before 1922 the year when the area was declared a Forestry Reserve. The ruins were last monitored in 1979.
