4.56km southeast of Mets Mantash village, Ma BC 18 is located adjacent to Ma BC 19 (map quad B1b).

Topography

These burials are located on the side of a steep, eroded slope.

General Description

Running in a 25m-wide band along the eastern slope of the ridge, this cluster of cist burials includes approximately 30 mortuary installations. They are spaced 1-10m apart along a 150m band, 25m wide. Each burial is of largely identical construction: small rectangular clusters of stone cobbles, approximately 1.5m x 0.3m.

Features & Materials

No surface materials.

Feature 1: is larger than most of the other cist burials. Small basalt cobbles define a rectangular form, 1.74m north-south and 1.5m east west. The cobbles create a slight mound that reaches 0.3m above ground surface.
