Located 0.23km southwest (bearing 244°) of Ts BC 90, this cluster of cromlechs was found just one ridgeline west of Ts Corral 4 (map quad B4f).

Topography

The burials of Ts BC 80 are set at the base of a low north-south oriented outcrop, where it slopes into a small flat basin.

General Description

This small burial cluster (no more than 12 cromlechs) is rather unique in this area given that most of its neighboring mortuary sites tend to be sprawling, dispersed constructions. The burials are bedrock and standard style cromlechs packed within a discrete area approximately 30m east-west by 50m north-south.

Features & Materials

No surface materials.

Feature 1: is a medium-sized bedrock cromlech. 3.5m in diameter, the burial was built of medium-sized, shaped basalt blocks set in an evenly proportioned outer ring. One large stone within this ring appears to be worked bedrock. The interior of the burial is submerged and thus the capstones are not visible.
