Mnajdra - Temple 2

The northern "corner" of the intramural room.

The northern side of the porthole doorway to the northern outer apse is just visible far left
and the "oracle hole" piercing slab 7 is centre left, note how the upright to the left of the hole
effectively covers most of the wall slab, perhaps explaining the reason for locating the hole
at the very edge of the slab. 
Note the large groove cut into the apse wall slab centre right, this once supported one
 side of a stone shelf that spanned the room here. The other side of the shelf was supported on two
 small pillars which stood on the two flat slabs that can be seen paving this area, a second shelf
 was set 80cm above the first.
