Were you talking about this
It could be Jinacsani
Where is that ?
You weren't actually very far from it
Janasir/jinacsaney is right below
Here is the Somali pronounciation
Pronounciation :
Its a small village of around 70 homes, most are IDPs resettled in 2021 and some sources say part of the population are oromo, so im assuming this village isnt anywhere near the medieval thing
Initially I thought the ruins could be south of the village where theres an old cemetery
But turns out you were right the actual ruins are in Chinaksen which is certainly the ethiopianized version of jinacsey (somalis are only 20% of the city), im pretty sure the district administration had a post on facebook calling it jinacsey tho

Video of the town
One of the treasurers of imam ahmed was a janasiri kabeer
According to wikipedia this book has a mention of them page 115 but i cant find any copy available to read online
https://books.google.com/books?id=8QAOAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA115&redir_esc=y
My theory is that Somalis went south and founded their own new jinacsey after oromos took over that area, and the oromos and ethiopians called the old jinacsey that weird corrupted name
Chinaksen is between Jigjiga and harar right north of jigjiga someone who visits that area could easily take pictures of the ruins and ask the inhabitants
Found evidence of terrace farming in another village south of chinaksen
The ruins are at the foot of an oval hill at chinaksen town according to wikipedia but i had no luck finding them on google maps maybe you can have a try @Thegoodshepherd
Source for the ruins on wiki is this paper page 115 but says nothing like that on that page, i think the dude who wrote the article didnt lie abour ruins but lied about the source

found it, its about an arab dude staying with the sultan of adal
Do you have a link for that story?
with books from the 17th,18th and 19th centurary the ff or f in old texts, it’s usually just the long s (ſ) or a double long s (ſſ) representing the modern s or ss.
