Chisvingo

Among the woodlands north of Harare, Chisvingo is marked by a curved dry-stone enclosure, open on one side like a horseshoe. It is one of a cluster of Zimbabwe-type stone sites in the upper Mazowe country, close to Nhunguza and not far from Ruanga. Their walls belong to a building tradition also seen at Great Zimbabwe. Glass beads found in the area speak of connections beyond these modest settlements and their place in a wider world of exchange.

The later city of Bindura lies here.
