Association

This isolated architectural feature is located on the southern slope below Tsilkar fortress (0.39km bearing 154°), 0.3km northwest of Ge BC 10 (map quad E4g).

Topography

Ge AR 3 is set in a grassy saddle between two small rocky peaks. The area is sloped slightly southwest but in general is one of the only flat areas on the mid-Pambak slope. Soil deposits appear to be significant as the area lacks the weathered outcrops of bedrock typical of surrounding locales.

General Description

Only the very top of this line of stones is visible. The construction extends for 14m bearing roughly 16° along a straight line, curving slightly on its northern end. The width of this wall varies considerably, as does the feature's surface visibility, but seems to average less than 0.25m. The visible stones are medium-sized of unworked granite and basalt. They are set in a single line, suggesting the construction may have served more as a terrace or informal partition rather than as a wall.

Features & Materials

A single obsidian flake was found adjacent to the wall.
