Association

This set of constructions is located 0.15km southeast (bearing 140°) of Ts Corral 5 (map quad B4g).

Topography

This cluster of circular constructions is set on a triangular promontory bound to the north and east by watercourses set in small ravines. To the south, a small informal track cuts between the promontory and a field of exposed basalt boulders.

General Description

Ts Corral 6 consists of two sets of two structures 18m apart. The largest construction is vaguely rectilinear, 12m in diameter, with rounded corners. The adjacent structure is only 4m in diameter with an entryway on the northern perimeter marked by a large standing basalt pillar. The walls of both structures are made of double-faced shaped basalt blocks. The second (northeastern) pair of structures are 4.5 and 4.8m in diameter respectively. Both are made of single-faced boulders set end to end. Overall, these latter two constructions have a more informal feel to them than the former pair.

Features & Materials

No surface materials, but it is likely that these structures are contemporary with Ts Corral 5 and thus datable to the 16th-19th centuries B.C.
