Ta' Kuljat
Ta' Kuljat submitted by enkidu41 : These metre wide boulders make a stout wall. Presumably they would have been further courses when built. (Vote or comment on this photo)
On the flat-topped Ta' Kuljat in Gozo were found scattered Bronze Age sherds identifying this site as a settlement. This wall is the most visible of the remains.

It is built of relatively large boulders and extends along the eastern edge of the hilltop for about 65 metres in a north-easterly/south-westerly direction. The wall was probably defensive and may originally have surrounded the whole hilltop settlement.

An abundant scatter of neolithic sherds found on the eastern slope of the hill suggest an even earlier settlement.
