It was in 1959 that the archaeologist Roger Grosjean, who made the Filitosa (Sollacaro) and Cauria (Sartè) sites famous, mentioned the Cucuruzzu site.
In 1964, the study was taken over by François de Lanfranchi, who continued and extended his research into the 1990s.
Built by Bronze Age man, it was established within a granite chaos dominating the northern slope of the Livia plateau. Below the casteddu to the north-east, several terraces and shelters have been occupied; this is a village surrounded by a protective wall (not accessible).
The main monument is the Torra (tower: probable place for storing and processing foodstuffs), which still retains part of its roof. The remains recovered during the excavations are on display at the Alta Rocca County Museum.
