General Description

A fortress set on an E-W ridge on the rising mass of "Nigasar." Cyclopean masonry composes a "citadel" wall and a lower boundary on the south side of the ridge. Several terrace walls also appear to descend down the south side of the hill, while the crest features numerous basins and short wall lines. The masonry is composed of basalt boulders and cobbles.
