The surface of the small island of Jiddah lying north-west of Bahrain is covered in traces of stone quarrying, but although the island probably supplied the limestone ashlars for the second-millennium BC Dilmun temples at Barbar, the sixteenth-century AD Bahrain Fort and other eminent buildings, no study has ever been made of the ancient quarry. Information from a geological report and a few photographs may, it is hoped, inspire new research
