Which particular megaliths are you referring to, if any in particular? There are indeed many interesting and ancient structures that seem to have little to no historical background that we know of. Here is one of my favorites:

This is a temple complex in Mnajdra, just off the coast of Malta island. Freemason CT's have been trying for years to say that it is a blatant owl shaped structure reminicent of the early days of the "global conspiracy to rule the world". Can't help but laugh at that one.
Most of these scattered throughout the mainland were used as burial structures, but also retained some ceremonial value later in their existence.



Most of the structures, however, are either temple remains, or outlyers having something to do with ceremonial worship.
Seven megalithic temples are to be found on the islands of Malta and Gozo, each a result of an individual development. The Ggantija complex on the island of Gozo is remarkable for its superhuman achievements dating from [the Bronze Age] 3,600 BCE On the island of Malta, the temples of Hagar Qim, Mnajdra and Tarxien are unique architectural masterpieces, given the very limited resources of their builders. The Ta' Hagrat and Skorba complexes bear witness to the development of the temple tradition in Malta. The Hal Saflieni Hypogeum is an enormous subterranean structure excavated with cyclopean rigging to lift huge blocks of coralline limestone around the year 2500 bc (3,000 BCE). The Hypogeum, possibly conceived as a sanctuary, has been a necropolis since prehistoric times.

Occasionally, you'll even come across some megalithic artwork representing various gods and goddesses. Here is one of the goddess of fertility:


They are pretty rampant around the island and neighboring areas. As I asked before, what exactly were you looking for?
