Compared to its original 30 metres, <strong>15 metres of it is still standing<\/strong>. In the central chamber, <strong>the false cupola<\/strong> (tholos) is still intact.<\/p>\n<p>The excavation work carried out on the Nuraghe started in 1981 and revealed extremely interesting data regarding its usage, and in more general terms, the lifestyle of the Nuragic people who built and used it.<br \/>\nTraces of a <strong>channel to drain the rainwater<\/strong> and a cistern that collected it is still visible in one of the courtyards, the central B courtyard.<br \/>\nThe presence of a bench, a fireplace, a basin, the remains of a meal and dishes in the same courtyard gives us the impression that it was used for eating communal meals. Furthermore, in the stronghold\u2019s C tower, the discovery of two <strong>cooking plates<\/strong>, a fireplace, artifacts linked to the preparation of bread and <strong>carbonised fragments of bread<\/strong> revealed that it was a laboratory for <strong>bread making<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>village<\/strong> stood in the surrounding area mainly consisting of circular huts. These included one which was particularly large with seating and fireplace and was probably the <strong>hut used for meetings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Romans re-populated the area<\/strong> in the II century B.C. On the top of the Nuraghe, now collapsed, they created <strong>rooms used for wine production<\/strong>. In order to continue with the excavation of the Nuraghe, it was essential to dismantle and rebuilt these rooms on the edges of the archaeological site.<\/p>\n<p>The site can be reached from the Town of Orroli.
