The site consists of two adjacent nuraghi (one with a corridor), a village, a cistern, the remains of a defensive wall and a Giants tomb.
Work was carried out on nuraghe A, huts 1 and 2 and the cistern. Hut 2, of sub-rectangular form yielded many finds, above all pottery. Hut 1, of polilobate form, was over half filled by a rock outcrop forming a bench and contained only a few fragments of pottery. The protonuraghe presented a similar situation in the narrow corridor and lateral niche. Several bowls were recovered from the cistern, two of which were decorated with impressions made by small, circular earrings, and two fragmentary bronze objects (a spiral bracelet and a semi-circular element).
The pottery from Hut 2 includes hemispherical and truncated-cone shape carenated bowls, plain cooking dishes, some with handles, boilers, jars, and four-handled cups. Decoration is limited to lozanges, moulded ribbons, incised lines, grooves and herring bone patterns. Numerous spindle whorls and mill stones come from the same structure, an indication of agro-pastural activity. Two bronze bracelets were also found. The best comparison for this material is the Bonnannaro B pottery and finds from nuraghe with mid- Bronze Age I contexts. Reuse is attested by finds from the well and surface finds of African Red Slip pottery of imperial date.
The well-cistern should be considered one of the earliest known water management systems in Sardinia, and elsewhere. It is built of small to mid-size basalt blocks placed in neat rows. At about 0.35m down from the aperture is an offset which would have housed a wooden cover, the bottom is excavated out of the rock and roughly levelled. In the western wall is a small window which served as an overflow when the water level got too high. To the south-east is a corridor, giving access to the cistern, now partially blocked by fallen rubble. (Alba Foschi Nieddu)
