The complex is, in fact, defined by scholars as hypogeal-megalithic. The tomb can be called hypogeal because it was built inside a trench dug in the natural marl bank, with the height of the covering slabs at the level of the ground level. It is at the same time megalithic because it is built with large blocks that tend to be sheet-like, and flat roofs made with large slabs. The monument can be ascribed to the pre-Nuragic period, Beaker culture, about 2,500 B.C.
