The simple nuraghe have been build near of the giants’ grave. This building, characteristic of Sardinia, consist of a flat-topped conical tower with circular chambers (tholos) arranged one above the other and covered with a corbelled roof, obtained by placing the stones in courses that partially over-sail the courses below them. The room has the interior diameter of 3.30 m. and is high 3.50 m. The term “tholos” stands for a beehive-shaped chamber with a corbelled roof and refers to similar building in the Aegean area, especially to the large Mycenaean graves. To the actual state the masonry consists of 11 courses of stons in the interior part and 13 courses of stones in the external part. The stones have the varying size laid without grout (dry walls). The entrance is oriented to the SOUTH/EAST, has trapezoidal section and present one niche.
