Dark pits are the goblin equivalent to hamlets and hillocks. Much like dark fortresses, they consist of numerous simple towers criss-crossed by a network of trenches, with most of the population living on the top floor of those towers. Some of these towers also have downward stairs, which lead to the underground part of the site. Generally only one or two of the towers will have these stairs, unlike dark fortresses where most of the towers are linked.

The underground area consists of oddly shaped hallways with small rooms and multiple story deep pits which are apparently graveyards. On the bottom of these pits, goblin skeletons, engraved slabs, coffins and grave goods which are mostly made of bone can be found. Most of the settlement's trolls can usually be found loitering in the grave pits.

At the bottom of large towers, gates into the underworld can be found. They are magenta and appear to be a pair of upward and downward stairs.
