Association

Just 0.31km to the southeast (bearing 128°) of Sk BC 22, this cluster lies on an adjacent north-south oriented ridgeline to the east (map quad B3b).

Topography

This cluster spreads across the terminal northern slope and ridge top of an elongated ridge similar to the terrain that hosts Sk BC 16, 17, and 22. The area is littered with basalt boulders.

General Description

This relatively compact cluster, 200m x 60m, hosts 40-60 standard cromlechs that appear to be roughly arranged into two lines that run along the west and east ridge crests. In between is a gap of 15m. The burials range from 1.9 to 4m in diameter and are built of medium-sized, unworked and lightly shaped basalt blocks. The capstones are generally elongated basalt boulders. The southern end of the cluster is marked by a tuff and basalt block wall. It is 0.90m wide and faced on both sides. It extends 38m in a rough east-west orientation.
