Association

4.82km southeast (bearing 130°) of Mantash village, Ma Reservoir 3 is most clearly associated with Ma Canal 7 to the east (map quadrant B1i).

Topography

The reservoir is set in a natural depression, in the center of a broader plateau on a terminal spur of Mt. Aragats.

General Description

Located in a broad depression above the plain, this circular reservoir is fed by natural streams. A dam installed at the southern end measures 18m in length and 3m in depth. Towards the bottom of the dam, the rectangular shape of basalt building blocks can be seen. The regularity of the blocks suggests a rather late construction in the later Medieval period. But could be early modern as well (pre-Soviet).
