Log Text: Easy enough to find, but also easy to walk by. On West Street. The local Tourist Board did not know they were there, despite the fact they were within 100 metres of their office. One stone is beside the bridge at the rear of the recycle bins (as mentioned in a previous posting). The others (again as per the posting) are along the road on Dorchester Hill near a roundabout in some trees.

Xemxija Tombs
Date Added: 26th Dec 2012
Site Type: Rock Cut Tomb
Country: Malta (Mainland)
Visited: Yes on 26th Dec 2012. My rating: Condition 3 Access 4
Xemxija Tombs submitted by enkidu41 on 11th Jan 2005. Tomb 1 showing the circular accuracy of both the opening and the entrance to its 3-lobed chamber. The similar tomb 2 is just to the right. The tombs now connect underground due to the separating wall having collapsed.

Log Text: The tombs start about 20 metres from the road. Look for a couple of large piles of stones which mark where they are. Like many sites in Malta they are not signposted and you virtually have to be on top of them before you see them. There are houses on the other side of the road. Start half-way down the road and just walk into the rough land opposite the houses.

Visited: Yes on 16th May 2011
Faldouet Dolmen submitted by attlebax on 16th May 2011. This site is well marked from the road and is on the Jersey map. The lane outside is narrow and has high banks so it is best to park just up the road. Not easy for any wheelchair users.
