Due east 0.41km of Ts Reservoir 1, on a plateau bearing the signs of recent cultivation, this cluster of burials is comparably isolated in contrast with most mortuary sites in the hinterlands beyond Tsaghkahovit Fortress (map quad B4p).
The burials of Ts BC 20 congregate on the western edge of a large plateau. To the east, a small passageway between bedrock outcrops opens onto a large basin that also appears to have been cultivated in recent years.
Ts BC 20 spreads across 20m east-west and 25m north-south, making it one of the more compact clusters in the vicinity. The burials of Ts BC 20 include 3 paved, 4 standard, and 1 mounded cromlech.
No surface materials.
Feature 1: is an oddly shaped paved cromlech. The burial is oblong, 2.9m east-west and 2.0m north-south. The western edge appears to be flattened, lending this segment a somewhat rectilinear form. The eastern edge, in contrast, seems to be pointed, lending the construction as a whole a unique shield shape. The building blocks are large, worked basalt blocks.
Feature 2: is a remarkably small mounded cromlech, just 1.6m in diameter. The mound is also unique in that it is constructed predominantly of tuff cobbles (as opposed to most mortuary mounds built of basalt cobbles).
Feature 3 (plate Xb): is an excellent example of a stepped cromlech with a flat outer ring inscribed with a raised inner ring. It is 7.4m in diameter and constructed of large unworked basalt blocks.
