Association

This small cluster was found on the southwestern outskirts of Gekhadzor village, 1.19km east (bearing 64°) of Hnaberd fortress (map quad B3j).

Topography

These burials were placed on the upper slope of a small hill that descends into the village of Gekhadzor. There is considerable evidence of disturbance in the area including boulders that may have served as capstones strewn across the surface. There are, however, no signs of looting.

General Description

This cluster includes only 5 small standard cromlechs, 3-5m in diameter and built of medium-sized unworked basalt blocks. More burials may be in the vicinity, but the position of the tombs on the slope may have resulted in the submergence of some features.
