Dungur is the ruins of a substantial mansion in Aksum, Ethiopia, the former capital of the Kingdom of Aksum [1]. Located in the western part of the city, across the road from the Gudit stelae field, the remains consist primarily of the lowest levels and podium [1]. Excavations uncovered stone piers that likely supported wooden columns or floors, and brickwork that may indicate the presence of a hypocaust heating system [1].
