Association

Hn BC 06 is located 0.75km south (bearing 181°) of Hnaberd fortress (map quad B3e).

Topography

This cluster was identified on the same elevated plateau as Hn BC 05. The terrain slopes gently to the north and includes areas under cultivation as well as signs of modern bulldozing activity. But there are no tombs that show evidence of looting or destruction. Many tombs are quite submerged below ground level, making an accurate count quite difficult.

General Description

Hn BC 06 is a small cluster, approximately 35m north-south and 25m east-west. It includes only 10-15 standard cromlechs that are clearly, or partially, visible. These tombs vary from 2 to 5m in diameter and, as is typical, are built of unworked or lightly shaped basalt blocks surrounding 1-3 basalt capstones.
