Ts BC 56 is one of a line of burial clusters (including Ts BC 53-55, 57) which mark the eastern boundary of the north Aragats necropolis, 2.89km southeast (bearing 109°) of Tsaghkahovit fortress (map quad B5n).
Like Ts BC 55 to the south, Ts BC 56 lies on a southwest-facing slope of an eroding ridge. This ridge encloses the eastern edge of a wide basin which has hosted recent construction activities (see entry for Ts BC 51).
A series of poorly defined cromlechs compose this small cluster of only 6 clearly identifiable burials. The area of roughly 35m east-west by 20m north-south also includes a number of highly suggestive rock formations, but because of the eroded bedrock and fallen boulders in the area it is difficult to assess whether they are part of mortuary constructions. The few clear burials are built of small, unworked basalt blocks.
