Association

The northern limit of this canal (as presently visible) is located 1.40km southwest (bearing 206°) of Tsaghkahovit village (map quad B4j).

Topography

Ts Canal 4 hugs the base of a series of eroded rock outcrops, circumscribing the southern limit of a cultivated basin.

General Description

This canal is traceable winding across approximately 180m of terrain. While it diminishes to a trace, visible only as a depression in the hillside at certain points, the construction is visible as a stone-lined channel, 1.50 to 1.63m wide, for much of its extent. The stones are generally worked basalt slabs set end to end. A check dam is also visible at the head of the canal which may have served to bring together a series of more informal watercourses.
