Ts BC 4 is located 0.78km south (bearing 170°) of Tsaghkahovit fortress, on a ridge top just west of the basin that hosts Ts BC 9 (map quad B4o).
The long north-south oriented ridge that hosts this cluster is punctuated by eroded bedrock. To the west it slopes sharply down toward the swale where Ts BC 1 is located.
The standard cromlechs in this small cluster, approximately 50m by 20m, are generally well-spaced. Despite a collection of only 10-20 burials, the cemetery has remarkable variation in burial forms, including mounded, standard, spiral, bedrock, and budding cromlechs. The west side of the burial cluster is marked by an irregular stone wall, only partially visible from the surface.
No surface materials were associated with the burials, but a handful of undiagnostic sherds were recovered from an eroded area on the bounding wall (feature 2).
Feature 1: is a moderately-sized standard cromlech. The single outer ring of the construction circumscribes a 6.5m diameter circle, surrounding three basalt boulders level with the contemporary ground surface.
Feature 2 (plate XIIc): is a bedrock cromlech 1.7m in diameter. The construction utilizes a very large, slightly curved bedrock outcropping to define the eastern edge of the outer ring. The remainder of the ring an interior capstones are made of small to medium sized unworked basalt blocks.
Feature 3: is the stone wall defining the western edge of the cluster. The wall stretches north-south for 72m, a greater distance than the extent of the cluster itself, suggesting they may be distinct constructions. It is built of a single line of unworked basalt blocks.
