Sk BC 24 is a sprawling cluster 1.50km south (bearing 199°) of Sahakaberd fortress (map quad B3c).
This cluster of cromlechs is set atop a long north-south oriented ridge. The summit of the ridge, where the densest concentration of burials was recorded, is highly eroded in places with large exposures of bedrock as well as giant basalt boulders. There is little evidence of disturbance in the area.
This cluster extends 325m north-south and 45m east-west along an elongated ridge top. The burials are discrete, but the exposed bedrock also makes them difficult to distinguish at times. A conservative estimate would suggest no less than 90 burials within the cluster. These burials include standard, paved, and bedrock style constructions. Several of the standard style cromlechs are surmounted by cyclopean basalt capstones.
A single undiagnostic sherd was found on the eastern edge of the cluster.
Feature 1: is a normal paved cromlech, 2.3m in diameter, which shows conspicuous signs of extensive working. It is constructed of medium to large, worked basalt blocks. The blocks in the outer circle have had their interiors well-faced while the edges and tops of the paving stones in the center also show signs of considerable work.
