Association

This isolated cromlech is located on a small rise on the edge of the Tsaghkahovit plain, just 0.12km due east of the Sangyar road.

Topography

The rise on which this burial is situated is either the terminus of Mt. Aragats or a distinct rise on the southern edge of the Tsaghkahovit plain. The slope is gentle and the hill as a whole is highly eroded.

General Description

A single spiral cromlech, this burial is 8m in diameter and built of large worked basalt blocks set in a series of concentric, spiraling rings. At the center, only one large stone is visible while much of the rest of the burial is submerged. This is an excellent example of the spiral style.
