Association

Located 0.34km south (bearing 178°) of Ts BC 42, Ts BC 51 extends southwest to embrace the area where Ts Stela 2 was recovered (map quad B5n).

Topography

This cluster of burials occupies a wide basin that has been the site of considerable recent construction as evidenced by the metal and concrete debris that lies scattered on the surface. As a result, a large number of the burials within the basin have been disturbed. However, part of the cluster continues up a low eroded ridge to the south where Ts Stela 2 was discovered.

General Description

The burials are widely dispersed across an area approximately 250m north-south and 45m east-west. A count of the number of visible burials suggests approximately 16, but many more appear to have been destroyed. The burials that remain articulated appear to be primarily standard cromlechs, ranging in size from 3.5m to 13m in diameter.
