Hn BC 12 is located 0.63km southwest (bearing 201°) of Hnaberd fortress (map quad B2h).
These burials are located on a gentle northwest-oriented slope in an area with very little evidence of erosion. There are, however, signs of disturbance, including cromlechs that appear to have been recently looted.
The burials in this cluster include both cromlechs and cist graves. The cists are quite unique in that they consist of basalt slabs set on end and smaller shaped basalt blocks that now protrude above the surrounding ground surface. They define rectangular tombs that range from 2.2 to 3.0m in length and 1.5-2.0m in width. The constructions overall tend to average around 3-5m in length. The cromlechs in the cluster are, in generally, partially submerged, but appear to average 2-3m in diameter. They are built of small to medium-sized basalt blocks.
No surface materials.
