Located just east of Stela A1 (map quad C5c), 0.5 kilometer south of Korbulag village, and 0.28km NW of Shenkani Bog.

Topography

The reservoir rests in a low basin flanked to the east and west by two small hills of highly eroded bedrock. No clearly defined stream or canal leads into the basin suggesting that the basin lies near the bottom of a trough that drains the snowmelt from the northeastern slopes of Mt. Aragats.

General Description

This reservoir is quite large extending approximately 200m north-south even in late July. The surrounding vegetation suggests it swells to a substantially large size during the spring when the combination of rain and snow melt send considerable quantities of water down the Pambak foothills.

Features & Materials

On a small bedrock outcrop to the west are several recently built circles of stones that until recently appear to have served as corrals for livestock convenient to the water in the reservoir. It is unclear from surface inspection whether the reservoir is simply a natural feature or has been "improved" at some point in the past. No surface materials were found around the reservoir itself.
