Thimlich Ohinga is a complex of stone-built ruins in Migori County in Kenya. It is the largest of 138 sites containing 521 stone structures that were built near Lake Victoria in Kenya. These sites are highly clustered. The main enclosure of Thimlich Ohinga has walls that are 1–3 m (3.3–9.8 ft) in thickness, and 1–4.2 m (3.3–13.8 ft) in height. The structures were built from undressed blocks, rocks, and stones set in place without mortar. The densely packed stones interlock. The site is believed to date to the 15th century or earlier.
