Association

This cluster of cromlechs is found 0.32km northeast (bearing 48°) of Ts Reservoir 1 and 1.27km southeast (bearing 146°) of Tsaghkahovit Fortress (map quad B4p).

Topography

Ts BC 19 stretches along the lower slope of a southeast facing ridge. The adjacent basin shows signs of recent cultivation suggesting that burials may once have spread across a larger area.

General Description

This cluster includes 5 widely-spaced standard cromlechs and a single budding cromlech, although it is quite likely that several additional burials may be obscured by eroding bedrock. The cluster extends across 58m east-west and 14m north-south. The burials are constructed of highly weathered, unworked basalt blocks.
