The complex is composed of twenty domus de janas dug into the trachyte and dated to the third millennium BC (Abealzu-Filigosa culture). One of its main features are the petroglyphs depicting the "upside down", a stylized human figure upside down, engraved in two domus de janas.
The site has been the subject of excavations in the 1960s and the 1970s.
