Association

Hn BC 07 is located 1.48km south (bearing 180°) of Hnaberd fortress. Along with Hn BC 01 and 02, it constitutes the southernmost group of burials in the Hnaberd survey quadrant (map quad B3a).

Topography

Hn BC 07 lies atop an elevated plateau similar to that which hosted Hn BC 05 and 06. However, this one is narrower and more steeply sloping. But the higher elevation brings with it less disturbance from agricultural work even though a large number of burials appear to be almost entirely submerged under the ground surface, making a count of the visible burials virtually meaningless.

General Description

This small cluster appears to extend across an area roughly 40m square. Only standard cromlechs, 2-5m in diameter, are visible, with a single ring of medium, unworked basalt blocks encircling 1-3 capstones.
