The purpose of the stones is unknown but they may have formed part of a considerably larger megalithic structure, possibly defensive in nature. Prehistoric pottery may still be seen strewn around the stones.
Access to the site may only be had by a half a mile walk through the entrance to the il-Qortin ta' Ghajn Damma landfill.
