Association

5.28km east (bearing 280°) of Hnaberd fortress, this group of cromlechs appears rather isolated, with the cist clusters of Ma BC 3, 4, and 10 as its nearest neighbors (map quad B1k).

Topography

The cromlechs are built on an elevated plateau that slopes gently to the northeast.

General Description

This cluster of only 2 identifiable tombs includes a standard cromlech and a budding cromlech.

Features & Materials

No surface materials.

Feature 1: is a budding cromlech composed of a large standard cromlech with 3 inscribed circumferential rings of basalt blocks and an adjacent small standard cromlech. The main tomb is 2.55m across with four capstones in the center. The single stone circle of the secondary tomb shares two large basalt blocks on the main tomb's northern side. The capstones are not clearly visible due to some disturbance.
