Ts BC 16 is located 0.90km southeast (bearing 117°) of Tsaghkahovit Fortress, 0.27km east of Ts BC 14 (map quad C4d).
The burials appear atop an east facing ridge, descending into the elevated plateau below.
This cluster of 19 standard, stepped, and spiral cromlechs is quite discrete from the unbuilt surrounding area. However, the burials are not well-preserved. Several burials are highly eroded while others seem to have largely collapsed. In addition, fallen boulders, strewn across the area, obscure other possible burials. The cluster measures 51m square.
No surface materials.
Feature 1: is a stepped cromlech, 3.3m in diameter north-south and 3.6m east-west. It is built of medium-sized basalt blocks lightly worked to fit into two well-carpentered concentric circles. The interior circle is raised 0.35m above the level of the outer ring. Inside the interior circle is a single large basalt capstone.
Feature 2: is a small spiral cromlech 2.5m north-south and 3.0m east-west. The spiral begins on the east side of the cromlech, running into a concentric circle built of spaced, unworked, small basalt blocks. On its northern arc the circle turns inward, spiraling in a second concentric ring to a terminus near the center of the construction.
