Standing Stones in Gozo. These jumbled remains are of a wall built of megalithic boulders packed with smaller stones. Other megaliths are scattered in the area which, with the wall, would have formed part of a larger megalithic structure. Poorly placed for defensive purposes the structure may therefore have been a temple.
