This cluster of burials was found 0.24km southwest (bearing 217°) of Sk BC 2 and 0.35km east of the buildings associated with the adjacent military base (map quad B4e).
Unlike most burials in the Sahakaberd survey quadrant, which tend to cluster along ridge tops, this group of cromlechs was found in a narrow, roughly north-south oriented valley between two eroded ridges. The slope on the western edge of the cluster is particularly denuded raising the possibility that burials may at one time have climbed the adjacent hillsides.
Six standard cromlechs and four bedrock cromlechs were recorded in this cluster, spread broadly across an area approximately 65m north-south and 30m east-west. All were of the standard variety, ranging in diameter from 3 to 4m and constructed of medium-sized, unworked basalt blocks.
No surface materials.
Feature 1: is a moderately-sized standard cromlech quite typical of this rather far flung cluster. It is more elliptical than circular, 4.6m in diameter east-west, 4.6m north-south. The outer ring is built of medium to large shaped basalt boulders surrounding two large rectangular central capstones.
