Ghajn Damma Stones
Ghajn Damma Stones submitted by enkidu41 : The area behind the wall contains a considerable amount of rubbish and debris, most of it tipped over from the top of the cliffs above. There are apparently further megalithic remains under the rubbish. (Vote or comment on this photo)
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.
