Stone circle at the Senâm, Algeria

Senâm is the name of a long, low

Algeria, southwest of Algiers. The hill is covered with a large number of stone circles
.

These stone circles are built of natural limestone, with standing slabs two to three feet high. The diameter of the circles varies between about 23 feet (± 7 meter) and 34 feet (± 10 meter). The entrance to the circles is on the southeastern side of the hill, through a larger, surrounding circle. It is uncertain if the niche was once roofed. The center of the circle is filled with stones for unknown purposes, possibly as a grave.[1]
