Viewing Clapham Junction from the sky, certain patterns aren’t hard to see. Multiple tracks lead from the quarry beds to a main thoroughfare that is worn more deeply. Imagine the place as a depot, where quarried stone was being carried from rows in each bed to a main road that ended at a construction site. Not to kill the mystery, but this to me seems the most likely scenario for the tracks. Especially considering that stone has been the major construction material on Malta since early Neolithic peoples depleted the island of most of its forests.
