**Misrah is-Sinjura** submitted by enkidu41 : Taken from the south-west this shows the large capstone, the more recent walling on which it is propped and the even more recent field hut. The far wall of the deep quarry immediately behind can be seen on the left at the level of the capstone. (Vote or comment on this photo)

Burial Chamber (Dolmen) in Malta. This dolmen masquerades as a modern building.

The capstone is a large slab measuring 4.4 metres by 3.8 metres supported on irregular walling which, however, is of much more recent date. A modern field hut has been built on top. It stands at the edge of a field which drops sharply away on its eastern side into a quarry making approach from that side all but impossible.
