Only 0.63km southwest (bearing 213°) of Tsaghkahovit fortress, this cluster of burials is located 0.16km southeast (bearing 117°) of Ts BC 71 (map quad B4o).
The burials in this cluster are dispersed atop a northwest-southeast oriented ridge strewn with large boulders which overlooks the village of Tsaghkahovit. There is evidence of considerable disturbance in the area.
19 cromlechs were clearly identified in this cluster and all 19 had been robbed. Broken ceramics litter the site as do large boulders that were likely once capstones. The cromlechs ranged from 4 to 6.5m in diameter and were primarily constructed of worked basalt blocks set around a stone-lined chamber.
The surface materials found scattered in the area included 119 sherds from highly diagnostic LB III phase (Lchashen-Metsamor III) vessels. These were likely part of several adjacent tombs which were smashed during looting (fig. VI.29, 30).
Feature 1: is a cromlech 6.5m in diameter (the largest in the cluster), constructed of large, lightly worked basalt blocks. The interior chamber, now visible due to looting, was 1.5m long and 0.4m across and built of dressed basalt slabs.
