Ge BC 2 is 0.6km south of Ashot Yerkat and 1.48km northeast of Gegharot fortress (bearing 12°). The site is just north of Gegharot BC 1 (map quad E4g).
Like most of the burial clusters in the foothills of the Pambak range above Gegharot, this group is set on a steep southeast-facing slope along one of the approaches to Ashot-Yerkat fortress. The ground cover is thin or non-existent leaving a series of highly eroded bedrock outcrops.
This sprawling cluster of cromlechs stretches across approximately 65m EW and 200m NS. Despite its extent, at present it contains an estimated 15-20 bedrock-style cromlechs. Given its position on a steep eroded slope, it is quite possible that some burials were destroyed. The cromlechs are not particularly sizable, ranging where measurable between 3 and 5.5m.
No surface materials. Burial construction in this cluster appears to have been opportunistic, utilizing the bedrock outcrops as part of the outer circle of stones. The stones within the outer ring are generally small blocks of worked granite while the capstones range more broadly in size from medium-sized flat blocks to large unworked boulders.
Feature 1: As with most of the burials in this cluster, this bedrock cromlech envelopes an outcrop of natural rock, incorporating it into the design of the tomb.
