Wikipedia description:
Mifsas Bahri is an archaeological site on the southern border of the Tigray region of Ethiopia. It is located 200m southwest of present-day Lake Ashenge and has an attitude of about 2464 m. This highland site contains the ruin of a substantial building constructed of bright red dressed ashlar which may date early as the 6th or 7th century. Lying 200 m west of the shore of Lake Hashinge, the site came to the attention of antiquities authorities in 1997 as a result of alleged exploitation of its building stone on the part of the local population. In 2013 a group led by Paul A. Yule from Mekelle University and Heidelberg University began to investigate the site.
