Dept. of Health demolished west perimeter wall of cemetery and removed large volumn of earth and other material from the site. Work not authorised by MEPA. Site first inspected on 15.10.04. A number of large ashlar blocks were found to be disturbed. Some masonry noted still in situ, in standing soil section. Tile and ceramic sherds noted on site.
Excavations were undertaken by ASC Ltd. The stratigraphic sequences preserved in section indicated an earlier use than the Imperial walls. However, during this period some defensive changes might have been undertaken. This site is considered on the same alignment as the Gheriexem Street structure about 3 mins away on foot.
Some Bronze Age deposits were once again uncovered in this site, indicating the extent of use that the Rabat plateau has undergone.
