It is famous for its ancient stone circles and lyre-stones which considered to be an important part of The Senegambian stone circles which are divided into four large sites: Sine Ngayene and Wanar in Senegal, and Wassu and Kerbatch in the Central River Region in Gambia. Sine Ngayene is the largest of the four areas, and home of 52 stone circles, one double circle, and 1102 carved stones.
