Overlooking the small island of Copinsay
Nice view on one side, washing line on the other
First view of Stembister standing stone, behind the farmhouse
Looking north towards Glastonbury Tor from the interior
I visited Culverwell in 2005 and saw within the shed. My photos were of poor quality due to the light conditions and I’ve refrained from posting any – until now. It seems apparent that not many amateurs get to be shown this site so my efforts must be better than none.
Part of the outer face of the semi-circular wall
Random bloke for scale. Some of the stones in the wall are massive
The inner face of the curvilinear wall
Err....I’m not making this up.
Part of the wall can be seen in the middle left. It goes behind a large cairn which rises to the same height of the wall but is completely separate from the wall. The cross marks a place where the Blessed Virgin Mary (it is claimed) has been making regular appearances.

The only remaining decorated stone visible at the Skorba temples
The Guardians of the Temple
The southern arc from the south
The southern line of stones from the north west
The northern row from the south west
The northern line of stones from the north west.

The curse of the Malta/Gozo countryside leaves its mark: a temple transformed into a hunter’s hide
Quick! Take a last look before the cover goes on

Group of figurines found within the Xaghra Circle; now on display at Gozo’s Museum of Archaeology
Twin mother goddess statuette with one head missing found in the Xaghra Circle; now on display in the Museum of Archaeology in Victoria
Terracotta head found at Santa Verna, now on display at the Gozo Museum of Archaeology
The remains of the temple are not easy to find. Look for a raised area on the ground and a bird hunter’s hide which uses a standing stone
The curved shape of a temple apse
It is generally agreed this hunter’s hide incorporates a stone from the temple
The cart ruts run close to the cliff edge at this point
