Located adjacent to Nigavan bog, Nigavan settlement is 1.90km northeast (bearing 10°) of the modern village of Nigavan, 1.5km west of the main Yerevan-Vanadzor road (M3).

Topography

The site is set atop a small rise, below a terminal northeastern spur of Mt. Aragats. Below the north slope is Nigavan bog, a large marshy area that is more precisely described as a lake in the process of transforming into a bog.

General Description

The settlement consists of agglutinative blocks encompassing at least 17 discrete rooms built of faced basalt and tuff blocks. Architecturally, it closely resembles the Iron 3 period lower town at Tsaghkahovit.
