Ts BC 59 lies on the opposite slope of the same ridge as Ts BC 60, 0.28km southeast of the road at the base of Mt. Aragats as it turns towards the village of Sangyar (map quad C5a).
The site lies on a steep, west-facing slope, overlooking the southern edge of the Tsaghkahovit Plain, on the east bank of a small watercourse which drops onto the plain just below the burials.
Like Ts BC 58, this cluster is quite large, with over 50 cromlechs spread across an area 200m north-south and 65m east-west. Due to the steep slope, many of the cromlechs have their downhill portions exposed while the uphill portions remain submerged. Thus it is difficult to assess the range of sizes. However, of the visible burials, most appear to range in size between 3m and 5m in diameter. Standard, mounded, and spiral cromlechs are visible, although most of the mounded burials appear to have suffered deflation as they show little sign of relief, only the remains of a cobble interior.
