Están realizados en madera y piedra, de planta rectangular y sostenidos en los laterales por dos muros de piedra. En el Concejo hay dos tipos de Cabozos:
El Cabozo tipo Mondoñedo: de un solo piso y cerradas las fachadas en madera. Es el más habitual.
El Cabozo tipo Ribadeo: de dos o tres pisos y cerrado en manpostería con ventanas en alguno de sus laterales.
En el Concejo hay 156 Cabozos de los que solo 3 son de tipo Ribadeo.
