Ts BC 101 spreads across two small hills overlooking the northern bank of Ts Reservoir 3. This cluster was found 0.62km south (bearing 169°) of Ts BC 38, along Ts Canal 3 (map quad B5i).

Topography

The burials of Ts BC 101 are set on the southern slopes of two small outcrops. Numerous boulders and outcrops of natural rock make identification of the burials quite difficult. Ts Canal 3 cuts through the midsection of the cluster. On the western edge of the cluster a tree farm appears to have disturbed a number of cromlechs, judging from the stones that now lie strewn about under the boughs.

General Description

This cluster of approximately 35 standard cromlechs covers an area approximately 60m north-south and 125m east-west. The burials are all 2-4m in diameter and built of medium-sized basalt blocks set in a single ring around 1-3 basalt capstones. In the far west, within the territory of the tree farm, are 5 visible paved cromlechs. All 5 are approximately 2.5m in diameter.
