Sungbo's Eredo
Sungbo's Eredo is a system of earthworks, a ditch and bank about 160 kilometres long, surrounding the area of Ijebu-Ode in south-western Nigeria. Radiocarbon dates suggest it was dug around the end of the first millennium CE, pointing to a large and organised society. Local tradition links it to a noblewoman named Bilikisu Sungbo, and it is among the largest pre-colonial monuments in Africa.
