A very good question Dr Jaiteh. I know in some areas in Wulli and
Sandou, there are some tunbuns (discarded settlement), but over time
this places get submerged or the old monuments wears away. I am sure
some elders in Sukuta if consulted can shed some light over the topic.
But knowing the area a little bit, the expansion of settlements (rural
urban move) would have by now encompass the old abandon territories.
