The Planning Authority has issued an Emergency Conservation Order (ECO) to safeguard a site where archaeological investigations uncovered human remains, prehistoric pottery and intact vessels dating back approximately 6,000 years to the Żebbuġ Phase, the earliest stage of Malta’s Temple Period.

The discovery includes what appears to be a prehistoric cemetery comprising at least eight tombs, making it one of the most significant finds from this period of Maltese prehistory.

The Order will ensure the site is protected while further studies are carried out to determine the most appropriate long-term conservation measures.
