Located 1.46km southwest (bearing 203°) of Tsaghkahovit fortress, this cluster occupies the southern slope of the natural outcrop known locally as Megara Tepe which it shares with Ts BC 74 and 75 (map quad B4o).
The burials are interspersed amongst numerous jagged outcroppings of bedrock on the steep slope of Megara Tepe. A small natural cave in the hillside appears to have been worked and extended and the floor is littered with modern trash.
Like Ts BC 74 and 75, this cluster is also quite large, extending across an area approximately 135m east-west by 200m north-south. It is impossible to accurately estimate the number of cromlechs as many appear to be bedrock and dolmen-style constructions that incorporate local outcrops. A conservative estimate would be approximately 60. In addition to bedrock style burials, there are also standard, paved, and spiral cromlechs. The recorded burials are quite large, ranging from 4 to 8m in diameter.
No surface materials.
Feature 1: is a well preserved cromlech that appears to be a dolmen-style construction. 5m in diameter, the outer ring is constructed of large, lightly worked basalt blocks. A single very large flat basalt slab covers the construction, resting on carved bedrock. The entrance to the tomb, blocked by a single basalt block, appears to lead underneath this capstone.
