Sk BC 08 was recorded 0.26km west (bearing 263°) of Sk BC 07, in the same alluvial fan that hosts SK BC 06 (map quad B3h).
This cluster of cromlechs is concentrated on uneven terrain east of a concrete irrigation ditch and bounded on the west by an active water course.
One of the largest concentrations of cromlechs in the eastern Sahakaberd survey quadrant, Sk BC 08 centers on a single densely packed ribbon of paved cromlechs 45m long and 5-10m wide. Many are highly submerged making a true count difficult but a conservative estimate would suggest 25-30 cromlechs. Beyond the ribbon are 30-35 additional, more discrete, standard, spiral, and paved cromlechs. All of the burials are constructed of medium and large shaped basalt blocks.
No surface materials.
On the northern edge of this cluster is a small group of three constructions that appear to be possible kurgans. 6.5-8m in diameter, they are located quite close to the adjacent irrigation ditch in an area littered with numerous basalt and tuff cobbles. As a result, it is more likely that these constructions represent modern field piles rather than burials.
