This extensive cluster of cromlechs (plate VIIIc) is located 0.89km southeast (bearing 132°) of Tsaghkahovit Fortress, just to the west of Ts BC 17 (map quad B4p).
This cluster of burials extends laterally (east-west) along the base of a south facing slope.
This cluster of approximately 30 standard, paved, and mounded cromlech burials measures 50m north-south by 100m east-west. The mounded burials are constructed from basalt cobbles encircled by shaped basalt medium-sized blocks. The cromlech burials are quite small, averaging 1.5 to 3.0m in diameter. The area is highly eroded and also appears to have been adversely impacted by both rock fall from the ridge above and agricultural field clearance in the basin below. As a result, a census of the burials is quite difficult. In addition, several linear stone constructions are visible on the lower edges of the cluster. However, it is most likely that these are not constructions, but simply stone piles created by field clearance.
No surface materials.
Feature 1: is one of the larger paved cromlechs in the cluster. It has a distended, elliptical shape--6m north-south by 3m east-west. The stones are primarily unworked basalt set into a close-paved façade. The central capstone is a large, unworked basalt block 2m long and 0.95m wide.
