This circular construction is located 0.62km west (bearing 261°) of Ts Corral 6, adjacent to Ts BC 97 (map quad B4f).

Topography

This structure was placed along what appears to be a modern pathway that extends from Tsaghkahovit Village, south up the slopes of Mt. Aragats. Adjacent to the small basin that hosts Ts BC 97, the terrain surrounding Ts Corral 7 is far rockier, with large boulders and outcrops of eroded bedrock punctuating this south-facing slope.

General Description

Ts Corral 7 occupies the southern slope of a small conical hill. It is 22m in diameter north-south and 18m east-west. It has no clearly defined entryway but does have a small attached ante-chamber on its southern perimeter, 4.5m in diameter. While the larger structure is built of unshaped, large, irregular, basalt blocks set in a single row, the antechamber appears to be more robust and may have been built of double-faced walls. To the east, a second, much smaller structure was recorded on the south slope of the adjacent hill, 72m to the east. It is more rectilinear, 12.5m square, with well-carpentered wall lines.

Features & Materials

A single undiagnostic sherd was recovered from within the main structure.
