'''Senâm''' is the name of a long, low [[hill]] situated in [[M'sila Province]], [[Algerian people|Algeria]], southwest of Algiers. The hill is covered with a large number of [[stone circle]]s.
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]].<ref>{{cite book |title= Rough stone monuments and their builders|last= Peet |first= T.
