Association

Ts BC 77 is a rather isolated cluster of burials, 1.94km southwest (bearing 194°) of Tsaghkahovit fortress (map quad B4k).

Topography

The burials are set on a low extended hill riddled with eroding bedrock and large boulders. The hill is oriented roughly northwest-southeast and the burials are concentrated on the eastern slope.

General Description

These dispersed cromlechs occupy the entirety of a sprawling hillside, roughly 250m northwest-southeast and 60m southwest-northeast. Approximately 38 cromlechs are clearly visible, but others are likely obscured by erosion and the boulders which dot the hillside. Most of the burials are small to medium-sized standard cromlechs with simple capstones surrounded by medium-sized, unworked basalt blocks. Three cromlechs on the northeastern edge of the cluster have large rounded boulders as central capstones instead of basalt slabs.
