Walalde A five-hectare site in the Middle Senegal Valley where iron-using herders arrive by 800 to 550 BC, and smelting debris appears after 550 BC, inside the wider argument about how early West African iron is. -

- Wassu and Kerbatch stand in The Gambia, the same laterite tradition as Sine Ngayène and Wanar in Senegal. Wassu has 11 circles and the tallest pillars. A charcoal sample there, 1,200 plus or minus 110 radiocarbon years, was read as 927 to 1305 CE from a burial. Kerbatch has 9 circles, one of them double, and a bifid stone. They are not a second country page. The inscribed property is one landscape. UNESCO, Stone Circles of Senegambia.
