Topography

A large bedrock outcrop sitting high in the Aragats foothills, overlooking the Kasakh Valley, Aparan Reservoir, and Aragats Village.

General Description

Fortress constructed from boulders with three primary sides, width of walls around 5 m. The west-facing wall appears to be best preserved, behind which, or attached to, sites a rectangular block of rooms. At least one separate room block is preserved to the east below the citadel on a small terrace. Wall fall and collapse make it difficult to estimate how high the extant walls stand, but they may be as high as 2 or 3 m.
