Jedars (French spelling: Djeddars) are thirteen Berber mausoleums located south of Tiaret city in Algeria. The name is derived from the jidār (wall), which is used locally to refer to ancient monumental ruins. The pre-Islamic tombs date from late antiquity (4th-7th? centuries CE). Some scholars, such as the French historian Christian Courtois, have associated them with the Romano-Berber Kingdom of Ouarsenis.
