Located just to the northeast of Mantash BC 34 (map quad B1i).
The site is located on a slight rise surrounded by active agricultural fields. Here, the lower spurs of Mt. Aragats flatten out, leading to more active land use. Piles of bulldozed boulders suggest the area was the approximate vertical limit of land amelioration programs in the area above Mets Mantash village
This burial cluster is composed entirely of cist burials packed very tightly in an area roughly 80m north-south and 30m east-west. Surface examination indicates approximately 35 clearly definable cist burials built of small basalt cobbles packed tightly into a square or rectangular construction. The edges of the cemetery appear to be disturbed by agricultural clearance, but the central area remains intact.
Feature 1: is a particularly discrete burial in the cluster, 1.42m long north-south and 1.41m wide east-west. It was constructed of small basalt cobbles and slightly mounded in the center, raising it slightly above the surrounding surface.
