Association

Located 0.49km east (bearing 93°) of Ts BC 41, on a continuation of the same east-west oriented ridge, it is easy to think that Ts BC 45 might well have represented the far eastern extent of that same burial cluster but for the intervening cultivated basins.

Topography

Ts BC 45 occupies the southern and southwestern slopes of a tall ridge that envelopes the north edge of a series of small cultivated basins.

General Description

The cluster includes 14 discrete cromlechs spread across an area 140m east-west and 45m north-south. The cromlechs are often submerged below the current ground surface, leaving only the large boulder capstones visible on the surface. Most are standard or spiral cromlechs and the majority employ tall boulders as capstones rather than flat stone blocks. The burials are generally quite small, ranging from 3-4m in diameter.
