SANTA VERNA TEMPLE
|
In the fields west of Sant’ Antnin chapel, south west of Xagħra, three
blocks of stone stand on edge. A scatter of prehistoric sherds around suggests that they are the remains of a small temple, as was confirmed by excavation by Ashby and Bradley back in 1911. A further dig in 1961 showed that there had been a village on the site before the temple was built, as was also the case with several of the temples in Malta, Mġarr, Skorba and Kordin III
