Association

Sk BC 15 is located 0.33km southwest (bearing 201°) of Sk BC 12 and may well be a far southern extension of that same cluster (map quad B3g).

Topography

This small cluster is set on a gentle northwest facing slope, above an area pockmarked with military-related installations.

General Description

The small number of broadly dispersed burials in this cluster include approximately 11 standard, paved, and mounded burials across an area roughly 45m north-south and 30m east-west. Several other possible burials, now submerged, were also noted. The burials are generally small to medium-sized ranging in diameter from 2 to 5m. All are built of medium, unworked basalt blocks, except for the two mounded cromlechs recorded which also employed tuff and basalt cobbles.

Features & Materials

A single small piece of obsidian debris was found within this cluster.
