Association

Ts BC 55 is one of a line of burial clusters (including Ts BC 53-54, 56-57) which mark the eastern boundary of the north Aragats necropolis, 2.95km southeast (bearing 116°) of Tsaghkahovit fortress (map quad B5n).

Topography

This cluster lies on a rock-strewn, southwest-facing slope of an eroding ridge which encloses the southeastern edge of a wide basin which has hosted recent construction activities (see entry for Ts BC 51).

General Description

The burials in this cluster are identical to the cromlechs in Ts BC 54. They include approximately 13 small standard cromlechs that range in size from 0.5 to 1.5m in diameter. The cluster occupies a total area 50m east-west and 15m north-south.
