Adjacent to Ts AR 1, this cluster is located just next to the road which hugs the foot of Mt. Aragats before it turns northward toward Sangyar (map quad C5a).
Located at the base of Mt. Aragats's terminal slope, the area of the burial cluster has been considerably impacted by construction and by the adjacent road. It is possible that the cluster once continued onto the plain proper, but no sign of this is visible.
This cluster of approximately 8 burials consists primarily of standard cromlechs that range from 2 to 5m in diameter. They are constructed of small to medium-sized, shaped blocks set in a ring around 1-3 larger capstones. Most are at least partially submerged. One unique burial is a dolmen style (feature 2).
No surface materials.
Feature 1: is a classic example of the standard cromlech. 5m in diameter, it is constructed of large, shaped basalt blocks set in a single ring around 2 central capstones.
Feature 2: is a dolmen style burial--one of the few recorded by the ArAGATS survey. While the two walls of the dolmen remain standing, the roof, or trilithon, is missing.
