Ma reservoir 1 is located 2.97km southwest (bearing 258°) of Hnaberd fortress (map quad B2f).
The reservoir is located on a gently sloping shoulder of Mt. Aragats, adjacent to a briskly flowing small watercourse which proceeds downwards towards Hnaberd village.
Ma reservoir 1 is a medium-sized circular depression approximately 40m in diameter. Flow out of the reservoir is regulated by a dam on its northwestern edge.
No surface materials.
Feature 1: Just 5m to the west of the dam is an unusual linear feature consisting of 17 worked basalt blocks. One stone is large and unshaped and may be the bedrock keystone to which this feature was anchored. The well-carpentered line is oriented roughly north-south (bearing 10°) suggesting it may have served as part of the outlet channel. However, it is not clearly articulated with the dam so it is possibly unrelated.
