St George's Bay Cart Ruts
St George's Bay Cart Ruts submitted by Jon : (Vote or comment on this photo)
Cart Ruts on the foreshore of St. George’s Bay below the temple site of Borg in-Nadur now run straight into the sea. This is explained as being due to the tilting of the island downward to the south-east by possibly 3 metres during the past 3,500 years. There is no trace of these ruts on the sea bed as they have been scoured away by the action of wave-rolled pebbles, but, until a few years ago, they could be picked up again re-emerging beyond the head of the bay some 50 metres away.
