Eleven stone circles with frontal stones on the north bank of the middle Gambia.
Burial mounds next to the circles gave dates of AD 927 and 1305 in the Anglo-Gambian excavations of 1964-1965; whether the mounds are older or younger than the circles is not clear. The cemetery belongs to the period of use that spans 1200.
