Crastu Ruju is a multi-layered archaeological site situated on a hill located approximately 1000 meters west, in a straight line, from the settlement of Loculi. It was constructed during the Neolithic period and remained in use until the Medieval Age. The structure, likely an archaic nuraghe with a settlement, comprises a semi-circular construction that abuts the southern wall of a tall rocky spur.

The presence of two menhirs and prehistoric pottery, in conjunction with materials dating from the Roman and Medieval eras, provide evidence of the site’s use and its construction’s multi-layered nature over the centuries.
