Kerr Batch Stone Circles
Kerr Batch
Another site in the Senegambian Stone Circles World Heritage property, with nine stone circles and a double circle, known for its V-shaped stones.
The Kerr Batch stone circles sit beside the north-bank road about 20 km west of Wassu, and are part of the Senegambian Stone Circles World Heritage property. The site has nine stone circles and one double circle. A rare V-shaped stone, known as the harp stone, is a highlight, and a small museum stands at the entrance. Far fewer visitors come here than to Wassu, and the setting is quieter. It is ideal for a self-drive or a hired car from Janjanbureh along the north bank on the way to Farafenni. Admission is small, and you can ask the attendant for a guided explanation.
