The roof and much of the wall crumbled away, but still an obvious, standing structure, somewhat obscured by the greenery about it.
Or, there would be the even older ruins. Much more wild plantlife around, the wall only standing a foot or two above the ground and the place littered with fallen stones. In some places, some of the rooms still standing, but most of it level.
Or is it somewhere in between?
You said Numenorean, so it is very old?

It's more like the second. My thinking is that it's thousands of years old, but very well made. So the thousands of years would have worked at it, but since it was well made, what's left would show signs of good craftsmanship. So go with your second "even older ruins".
