Topography

Located on a slightly rolling rise on the right bank of the Kasakh river, and surrounded mostly by barley fields. Some cutting, mining, or amelioration pits located in the northern half.

General Description

Cluster of large kurgans burials set mostly in a barley field. Kurgans approx 5-10 meters across, several with pebbles forming a "shield." The cluster also contains several rounded depressions, which may be looting or other recent landscape modification (see Topography section). One member of the cluster features a visible, intact boulder cromlech, perhaps %20 of the full circle.
