Association

Ts BC 34 is located on the southeast edge of the same basin where Ts BC 33 is located and 0.25km east (bearing 93°) of Ts BC 27.

Topography

Like Ts BC 33, this cluster occupies the margins of a small basin below a low north-south oriented ridgeline. It extends three-fourths of the distance up the slope but does not reach to the summit of the ridge. The area is strewn with large boulders which may obscure some of the burials.

General Description

The burials of this cluster include cist burials and standard cromlechs composed of one or two rings of stone. The cromlechs show some interesting variability in their capstones. While some are flat and level with the ground, others employ large irregular boulders that extend well above the modern surface. There are approximately 10 clearly definable cromlechs with a few other possible constructions obscured by deposits washed down from the adjacent slope and by large boulders. The largest cromlech in the cluster is 4m in diameter while the smallest is just 0.5m. The cist burials (approximately 10-12 are visible) in this area seem to cluster on the west side of the site. They are generally rectangular, 1-1.5m long and 0.2-0.4m wide.
