Association

Ts BC 5 is just 0.5km south (bearing 166°) of Tsaghkahovit fortress, separated from Ts BC 4 by a single, low north-south running ridge (map quad B4o).

Topography

The cluster is set on the southern flank of the same ridge as Ts BC 4 as it turns slightly to the east. Just to the east, within the same small, flat basin, are the burials of Ts BC 7.

General Description

The cromlechs in this burial cluster are densely packed. Most are standard cromlechs, however dense packing makes it possible that some are linked budding cromlechs.

Features & Materials

The only surface materials visible were Soviet era tiles.

Feature 1: is a possible budding cromlech visible as two interlocked exterior stone rings. Overall, the construction is 12m long (oriented to 18°) and 6m wide (108°). The construction stones are of weathered basalt and are generally uniform in size (averaging approximately 0.7m square).
