The southernmost of the Sahakaberd quadrant burial clusters, Sk BC 30 was recorded 1.81km southeast (bearing 170°) of Sahakaberd fortress (map quad B3d).

Topography

The cromlechs of this burial cluster were found on the north-facing terminal slope of an elongated north-south oriented ridgeline. The area is pockmarked with eroding bedrock, but there is no evidence of significant disturbance.

General Description

The burials are generally discrete in the this cluster, but are often submerged, making a true count difficult. Unlike larger clusters to the immediate north, this one seems to have hosted no more than 35 burials. The only architectural styles noted here were paved and standard cromlechs. Both were made of medium-sized, unworked and shaped basalt blocks.
