🎧 Listen to Introduction
The site consists of four large groups of stone circles, representing a concentration of more than 1,000 monuments in a 100-kilometre-wide belt that stretches for about 350 kilometres along the Gambia River. The four groups, Sine Ngayène, Wanar, Wassu and Kerbatch, include 93 stone circles and numerous tumuli, some of which have been excavated and reveal remains dating from the 3rd century BC to the 16th century AD. Together, the laterite pillars and their associated tumuli form a vast sacred landscape that was formed over a period of more than 1,500 years. It reflects a thriving, highly organised and enduring society.
