Kerbatch (Kerr Batch) is a megalithic complex of nine stone circles and one double circle in Gambia's Nianija district, part of the UNESCO World Heritage Stone Circles of Senegambia inscribed in 2006. Dating from the 3rd century BC to the 16th century AD, the 0.79-hectare site features a unique V-shaped 'bifid' stone -- the only one in the entire Senegambian region. This stone, which had broken in three places and fallen, was restored during the 1965 Anglo-Gambian expedition led by Paul Ozanne, who also excavated the double circle.
