This gravesite sits in the shelter of a hill and has several ruined building with square foundations nearby and an assortment of pottery.
Looking a bit like a dolmen I think this is the end section of a chambered cairn, one of two that is know of in Azerbaijan. Stones may have been reused for construction.
