20km northwest from Georgetownyou you have Wassu stone circles. This Wassu consists on an important pre historic place in the Gambia, but of course no Stonehenge. This is a circle of stones that seems to date from 1300AD to 750AD by some analisys made to found carbon. It seems that before the stones were actually there, the place was sacred and used to make rituals and used like a buriel site.
