Cave or Rock Shelter in Gozo. This rock-cut shelter is situated high up on the west face of the Il-Qortin tas-Srug promontory 1 kilometre west of Xaghra. It yielded pottery of the late Temple Period and the charred bones of sheep and goat. Standing 'guard' at the front of the cave is a huge 10' high boulder.
