Tal-Mensija Cart Tracks San Gwann
Tal-Mensija Cart Tracks San Gwann submitted by IndianaStones : Very deep cuttings... (Vote or comment on this photo)
Ancient Trackway in Malta

In the midst of the village San Gwann, between the streets Lantana and Mensija Road you can find a small field with cart ruts, surrounded by a fence. These ruts are also cut deep into the stone and well conserved. They are similar to those at Clapham Junction and show turns as well as forkings. Reachable by bus (bus stop Stefanotis).

Mitten im Ort San Gwann, zwischen den Straßen Lantana und Mensija Road, gibt es ein kleines, umzäuntes Feld mit Wagenspuren. Sie sind tief in den Stein eingemeißelt und recht gut erhalten. Auch hier sind „Weichen“ (Gabelungen) und Kurven wie bei Clapham Junction zu sehen.
Mit dem Bus zu erreichen (Bushaltestelle Stefanotis).

Visited and photographed in July 2005
