Association

Ts BC 44 was found 0.22km southeast (bearing 129°) of Ts BC 43.

Topography

Ts BC 44 is located within what is today a pine tree farm planted in well-ordered rows on a gentle west-facing slope of a low ridge.

General Description

The cromlechs in this cluster are in generally poor condition, most likely as a result of the plowing and other forms of earth moving associated with the planting of the trees. Numerous medium and large shaped blocks now lie strewn on the surface but were likely once part of the cromlechs. The burials, as far as presently visible, number approximately 12 and range in size from 2.5 to 3.9m in diameter.

Features & Materials

No surface materials.

Feature 1: includes a largely intact circumferential ring of medium and large shaped basalt blocks 3.5m in diameter north-south. A small basin, 8cm in diameter, appears to have been cut into the large block on the western side of the ring.
