A huge complex of 55 hectare of archaeological monuments and remains of various periods near the village of Lchashen at the sevan lake.

The site includes a cyclopean fortress, settlements, and burial grounds with numerous barrows, cromlechs, flat-grave burials, and stone cists.
The site was excavated in the 1950´s.

The cyclopean fortress was in existence from the beginning of the third millennium BCE to the seventh century BCE and from the ninth through the 13th century. Among the unearthed burials there were some dating from the neolithic period and the middle Bronze Age. Most of Lchashen’s monuments belong to the late Bronze Age (1500 BCE). Four- and two- wheeled wooden carts and war chariots were found in the barrows. The bronze implements that have been found include horse bits, bird and animal figurines (lion, deer, bull, goat), swords, battle axes, mirrors, models of chariots and several gold artefacts (golden frog figurine etc.).

Today the complex is quite ruined and there are no signs to find the site.
The site should be in the west of the village, but I don´t know exact coordinates.
