The site comprises three aligned hypogea dug side-by-side, originally accessed via separate stepped shafts but subsequently joined with narrow passages.

Although each hypogeum is unique in its internal plan and arrangement, all the hypogea have in common a series of interconnecting galleries and numerous window tombs.

The wall of one small hypogeum features an altar flanked by large pillars carved in relief, on one of which is engraved with illustrations often interpreted to be a face and a kind of palette.

Although it is unfinished, the central hypogeum also offers one of the best preserved examples of a triclinium Agape Table to be found in the late-Roman burials of Malta.

However, very few of these small hypogea survive; the closest burials are located at al Ħal Resqun, Luqa and Ta' Kandja.
