The complex of Cuccurada rises upon the southern offshoot of a basalt plateau dominating the Campidano plain, at the outlet of Rio Mogoro valley, inserted in a virtually intact naturalistic setting. The archaeological area includes spectacular evidences of a complex polylobate nuraghe, centred on a primitive building with inner corridor. Leaning against this edifice, a bastion with four corner towers, connected by rectilinear curtain walls, encircles a wide central bailey. 
At the end of Recent Bronze it was partially destroyed; during the Late Bronze - Early Iron age (1150-730 a.C.) it was newly frequented, then definitively abandoned. The Nuragic finds unearthed by excavations highlighted a bronze group featuring a hunting scene. A votive deposit of late-Roman age was found inside a narrow space in the entrance corridor leading to the yard. This is particularly interesting due to its specific location and its precious documentary evidence. Votive offering was indeed characterised by the presence of countless skulls and sheep, goats and cattle jaws. The offering contained hairpins made of bone, intact and fragmentary clay oil-lamps, bronze coins and glass fragments. All these finds likely date back to the 4th century A.D. Archaeological documents reported seem to refer to syncretistic cults, suggested by pagan, Christian and Judaic elements. This is an evidence that the monument was still frequented throughout the centuries following its partial destruction.
