Association

A tower located atop a tall promontory, this construction is located just 0.83km southeast (bearing 130°) of Ts BC 35 and 1.66km southeast (bearing 119°) of Tsaghkahovit fortress. Feature 1 (also a stone tower) of Ts AR 5 is visible 0.4km to the southwest bearing 244°)

Topography

The tower's position atop a tall outcrop affords it excellent views for approximately 300° of the surrounding area, from southwest to southeast (the southern approach is obscured).

General Description

The promontory holds several clusters of what appear to be fallen unworked blocks, but only in one area can the remains of regular architecture still be seen.

Features & Materials

No surface materials.

The construction is roughly square, 5.5m on each side, built of large shaped basalt blocks which average 0.70m in length and width. It is thus highly reminiscent of the construction of the tower associated with Ts AR 5.
