Association

Located 0.98km southeast (bearing 117°) of Sahakaberd Fortress, this cluster is located just south of the central building complex of the military base (map quad B3h).

Topography

The burials of Sk BC 05 lie on a largely flat plateau at the foot of Mt. Aragats, in an area that is highly disturbed both by cultivation and the activities of the military base.

General Description

Most likely due to disturbance in the area, the 21 small paved cromlechs that are visible in Sk BC 05 are divided into three discrete sub-clusters. All of the cromlechs are between 3 and 4m in diameter, constructed of unworked, medium-sized basalt blocks.
