The complex consists of a main tower, originally included in a trilobate bastion. A barbican including five towers surrounds the main building. Some remains suggest the presence of a village around the nuraghe.
The bastion is 17 m in length (north-south) x 12.40 wide (east-west), well preserved in the east-northeast, with a maximum height of 7 m.
The complex may be dated to 1600-1000 BC.
