A somewhat isolated cluster of cromlechs 1.04km northwest (bearing 322°) of Gegharot fortress, roughly equidistant from Gegharot and Tsilkar villages (map quad E4f).
Located on a gentle slope that today hosts a tree farm, Ge BC 8's isolation may be a result of surrounding amelioration projects. The cluster of cromlechs lies just beyond the eastern limits of the deeply furrowed rows of the tree plantings. Indeed the entire burial cluster appears to have been highly disturbed, but the gentle slope and significant soil deposits suggest the place has been impacted more by recent amelioration than by continuous erosion or deflation.
The disturbance within this cluster makes a general count quite difficult. It appears to extend for approximately 110m north-south but only 6-7 clear cromlechs can be discerned with certainty. All of the visible cromlechs are standard style constructions and some appear to be quite large, exceeding 7m in diameter. The dense scatter of large boulders strewn across the area suggests that bulldozers were used to grade and in the process destroyed a significant number of tombs.
No surface material.
Feature 1: is a large cromlech built of worked granite blocks. The single outer ring, 7.6m in diameter north-south, is destroyed on its upslope (east) half. The capstones consist of two large granite, roughly rectangular stones 1.55m x 0.35m x 0.60m and 1.50m x 0.6m x 0.6m respectively.
