Located at an altitude of 550 m.s.l.m., the settlement is partly destroyed in the elevation, except in the south-eastern part. As far as building materials are concerned, the exclusive use of limestone makes the structure very solid and imposing. Few fragments of terracotta tiles have been found during the topographical survey, moreover it must be considered that in the realization of the roofs often and willingly were also used the limestone shingles, building tradition still preserved today in Molise.

Masseria Russoli is one of the one hundred masserias (traditional farmhouses) in Crispiano, now home to the Martina Franca Donkey Genetic Heritage Conservation Centre, which safeguards the preservation of the species.
