Macajilayn, also spelled Mecajilayn, is an archaeological site in the northern Sanaag province of Somalia.
Overview
Macajilayn is situated to the east of the old coastal town of Heis.[1]
The site contains a number of cairns, from which excavations have yielded Roman and Nubian imports. Based on these finds, the structures have been estimated to date between the 1st and 4th centuries CE.[1]
Additionally, along with Salweyn, Macajilayn is the only local site where specialized ancient disc monuments have been found.[1]
