Sine Ngayène

Sine Ngayène is a great complex of stone circles in Senegambia, surrounded by a cultivated landscape. Fifty-two circles of carefully shaped laterite pillars stand here, including a double ring, with burial mounds nearby. The stone came from a quarry east of the site and was worked with iron tools. Together with the circles of Wanar, Wassu and many other places, these monuments form a funerary landscape whose construction continued for many centuries.
