Ta’ Għejżu Cave is an archaeological site located on the Xagħra plateau, to the west of Ġgantija.
The cave was discovered in 1933 and cleared out immediately. It has two openings – a narrow access to the south and a round hole, possibly the result of a ceiling collapse.
Several megaliths scattered on the rocky plateau above the cave might have been the remains of a megalithic structure. Only ceramic fragments from the Ġgantija phase were found (c.3800 – 2000BC) and these bore abundant traces of red ochre.
