Association

Located on the lower northwest flank of Mt. Kolgat, this place is 0.7km west (bearing 275°) of Kolgat reservoir 1 (map quad D1p).

Topography

This canal is built into a spur of Mt. Kolgat which slopes gently to the west down into the Shirak Plain.

General Description

The canal trace itself is simply a small (0.45m wide, 45m long) linear depression oriented to a bearing of approximately 127°, a course which would flow directly into Kolgat reservoir 1.

Features & Materials

No surface materials.

What makes this trace more complex is the presence of a small stone cistern (0.4m deep) on the line of the canal. The cistern is stone lined with a square socket opening at ground level defined by four worked basalt blocks. The cistern's opening is still visible suggesting it is a relatively recent construction. However, it held no water.
