Situated in an alluvial plain near the town, it is a complex nuraghe, protected by seven visible towers, linked together by an antemural, and by three other probable towers that would hide below the old former provincial road 10.
Around it there was a village of huts. From the area of the nuraghe comes the famous bronze candelabra of Cypriot type currently exposed to the National Archaeological Museum of Cagliari.
