General Description

The burials of Hn BC 19 spread widely across an area approximately 150m east-west and 80m north-south. Except for a single tightly packed "ribbon" of cromlechs (feature 1), they are quite discrete and well-dispersed. The cluster includes standard, paved, and mounded cromlechs. The burials generally range from 2.5 to 4.5m in diameter. The are constructed primarily of medium-sized unworked basalt blocks.

Features & Materials

No surface materials.

Feature 1: is a packed line, or "ribbon" of paved cromlechs. The line is 2.5m wide and 20m long, although both ends are highly submerged suggesting the burials might extend further than is currently visible. The burials, to the extent that individual interments can be distinguished, are built of medium-sized unworked basalt blocks.
