Ts BC 40 is a rather isolated cluster of burials. The nearest recorded site is Ts BC 37, 0.42km to the southwest (bearing 73° from Ts BC 37 to Ts BC 40) (map quad B5m).

Topography

This small cluster was constructed at the base of a west-facing slope, in a narrow basin currently used for cultivation.

General Description

Only 6 cromlechs are visible in this cluster, although it is possible that some were destroyed by the cultivation in the basin. All of the visible examples are small standard cromlechs varying from 2.5 to 3.5m in diameter.

Features & Materials

No surface materials.

Feature 1: is a standard cromlech 2m in diameter east-west and 2.3m north-south. It is built of a small number of unshaped, medium-sized basalt blocks. The outer ring is only partially visible on the southern side while the capstone seems to consist of a single large block.
