Inyanga

A series of mountains that separate Zimbabwe from Mozambique which has evidence of a prolonged sequence of Iron Age occupation. Early Iron Age settlement, related to that at Gokomere, is attested at several sites around Ziwa Mountain. Between the 16th and 18th centuries, and perhaps earlier, extensive irrigation works were built. Other stone structures date from the same period, including semi-subterranean structures interpreted as stock pens.
