At 1.9km southwest (bearing 231°) of Sahakaberd fortress, Sk BC 23 is the westernmost cluster in the Sahakaberd survey quadrant (map quad B3f).

Topography

This small group of cromlechs lies on a bluff just above the watercourse that marks the western limit of the Sahakaberd quadrant. It is remarkable that they survive given the evidence for considerable transit along this valley.

General Description

Only 8 cromlechs compose this small cluster: 3 mounded, 1 paved, and 4 standard. All are quite small, 1-3m in diameter and built of small basalt blocks or basalt and tuff cobbles. The mounded cromlechs rise a maximum of 40cm above the surrounding ground surface.
