Kolgat Settlement 2 is located 0.88km southeast (bearing 114°) of Kolgat Settlement 1 and on a ridge just above Kolgat Canal 1 (map quad D2o).
This small group of rooms is set atop an extended ridge with extensive exposures of denuded, weathered bedrock.
Although we have labeled these structures a settlement, they are more resistant to classification than most such constructions. The place consists of a single line of three horseshoe-shaped enclosures with openings on the western ends. The two flanking constructions are roughly 2m north-south and 0.6m east-west while the center building is 3.5m north-south and 1.0m east-west. The walls are built of basalt and tuff double-faced dry stone masonry and remain preserved to a height of over 1m in places. In terms of overall form, these constructions more closely resemble corrals. However, no other corrals documented by our survey consisted of interlocking rooms. As a result, we have classified this as a settlement, but this should be regarded as solely provisional.
No surface materials were recovered, but the preservation of simple dry stone masonry walls to a height of 1m suggests these are most likely recent constructions.
