Kofyar hill settlement is located in Qua’an Pan Local Government Area of Plateau State, North central Nigeria. It is a hilltop settlement situated between range hills on the southern edge of the Jos plateau and punctuated by old volcanoes shelters. The boundary of the indigenous hill settlement contains features such as the unique circular stone architecture which is a testimony to megalithic living tradition which has disappeared in most part of the world; stone fort walls which are result of indigenous African fortification techniques; farm terraces constructed using locally available irregular dry stone walls making cultivable land space on the sloppy terrain; unique dry stone animal pens which are testimonies to their megalithic technique; stone paved roads; pyramidal stone graves where the local communities re-establish the mystic bonds between their gods and ancestors.
