Category:Tethering stones in Malta
The soft limestone in Malta makes it very easy to work. As a consequence, people since ancient times (see examples in Ggantija) have drilled holes into wall corners and made specific stones to tether animals and to secure opened doors and windows (Ta' Kola Windmill).
