    Pozzo sacro Funtana Coberta, Ballao The site is located in the center of the lowest part of the valley located in the Ballao area, a few steps from the state road that connects the aforementioned town to Escalaplano. The first excavations date back to 1918 directed by Antonio Taramelli, were subsequently continued in 1994 by Maria Rosaria Manunza and in recent times Giovanni Ugas has directed the restoration works. In recent interventions, not yet completed, a Nuragic village and sporadic remains from the Roman age are also brought to light. The well was built between the Middle Bronze Age and the Recent Bronze Age, around 1200 BC. C. and seems to have been abandoned around the beginning of the Final Bronze Age. The temple was built with compact limestone stones obtained from the surrounding area and is 10.60 meters long. The rectangular atrium is 1.90 m wide formed by two wings of uneven length; the perimeter wall is in the shape of a key lock and there is no seat counter. The well is equipped with a 12-step staircase that descends to the floor made up of large slabs arranged in a radial pattern and where the deep cavity opens up below, descending for 5.20 meters. To cover there is a false dome formed by walls of more or less regular compact limestone blocks which rises for about 5.50 meters. and is 3.50 wide. In 2013 the upper part collapsed and the water level inevitably rose up to the first two steps of the access ladder. The first finds were discovered by Taramelli in 1918 as pestles and mills, a fragment of an elliptical millstone and a fragment of a porphyrite mace. In the latest excavations, fragments of Roman crockery and bowls, bronze objects such as swords for religious oaths, "oxhide" metal plates, axes, statuettes (one in fragments of an archer) and a foot were recovered inside the well. with support. The site is still under investigation, delimited by a dry stone wall and entrance with a closed wooden gate but without a padlock. Access is therefore free but always respecting the sacredness of the monument.
