Kerbatch

Nine stone circles and a double circle in the Nianija district north of the Gambia, part of the same megalithic zone as Wassu, Wanar and Sine Ngayene.

No date of its own is published in what we read; the zone as a whole was built from the third century BC to the sixteenth century AD, with its main activity in the late first and early second millennium.
