A sacred complex is located in the Kosh-Agach district of the Altai Republic along the 26-kilometer road from the district center to Dzhazator. Here, on the southern tip of the Chu steppe, not far from the glacial moraine ridges on a flat surface of the earth there are large stone megaliths. In recent years, these objects have attracted the attention of many researchers.
The megalithic complex is almost in a circle with a diameter of about 60 m. From the southern point of the arc to the south there is a line of small round 'calculations'(?) to the side lying approximately 90 m of stone with petroglyphs. The megaliths are found mainly in the north-western arc of the circle. In the south-east arc are arranged smaller stones and 'calculations'(?). The forms of the megaliths are different and do not constitute a 'processed plate'(?) as in many famous cromlech.
Russian: Священный комплекс находится в Кош-Агачском районе Республики Алтай на 26-м километре дороги от районного центра до Джазатора. Здесь, на южной оконечности Чуйской степи, неподалёку от ледниковых моренных валов на ровной поверхности земли выделяются крупные мегалиты камни. В последние годы эти объекты привлекают пристальное внимание многих исследователей.
Объекты Тархатинского мегалитического комплекса расположены почти по кругу с диаметром около 60 м. От южной точки дуги на юг идёт линия небольших круглых выкладок в сторону лежащего примерно в 90 м камня с петроглифами. Мегалиты находятся в основном на северо-западной дуге окружности. На юго-восточной дуге расположены более мелкие камни и выкладки. Формы мегалитов различны и не представляют собой обработанные плиты, как во многих известных кромлехах.
