Prehistoric megalithic temple site located southeast of Zejtun, Malta, dating to the Ggantija phase (3600-3200 BC) and lying about 1 km from the Tas-Silg multi-period sanctuary. Originally excavated by Albert V. Laferla in 1917, the site contains five semi-rectangular rooms enclosed within a megalithic wall, an anomalous layout compared to other Maltese temples. Pottery fragments dating to the Ggantija and Tarxien phases, along with stone whorls, were recovered, though flint and chert remains were scarce. Today only a few ashlar blocks remain visible in a field wall, as the original excavation was superficial and more remains may survive underground.
