OKAY, HERE’S THE STORY

Set the scene.

This irregular coralline-limestone slab is about four metres long. Smaller stones partly support one end at Ġnien Imrik in Xagħra.

Here’s the twist.

It may have belonged to a Bronze Age dolmen, but archaeological investigation has not established that explanation. Its original role remains uncertain.

Why it still matters.

Folklore recorded by Manuel Magri describes Sansuna as a giantess carrying enormous stones across Gozo. Enjoy the tale while keeping the physical evidence and the imagined builder separate.
